LOAD OF THE WEEK

.410 3”: BPX-12 Devastator Tungsten

The game-changing physics of tungsten marches on with these interesting .410 3” loads with our BPX-12 tungsten alloy shot. BPX Devastator shot is only available at BPI. In partnership with the world's preeminent manufacturer of non-toxic shot, we've developed a new type of shot with a high-density tungsten alloy core and covered in a protective tin plating. The result is a near perfect sphere of high density and devastating lethality.

 

BPX Devastator blends materials in order to achieve an ideal ballistic balance between enhanced density, pellet count, spherical precision, and overall hardness. This unique pellet core consists mainly of high-density tungsten. It is lethal on turkeys, ducks, geese, and just about any other game birds. It is manufactured to a target density of 12.0 grams/cc. No aging hulls with crummy plastic for these loads.  Follow instructions carefully and use a scale. It is highly recommended that you read and understand the Advantages Manual before you embark on shotshell reloading. No substitutions!
