BP1253 Multi-Metal wad for 12ga (250/bag)
The BP1253 is one of our most popular wad designs. With very ample shot volumes and Multi-Metal capability, it is applicable to many varied shooting situations.
The BP1253 is specifically designed to handle moderate volumes of non-toxic shot. It can handle a wide range of pellet materials, including lead, steel, bismuth, and SpheroTungsten. The moderate shotcup and angled wad slits on make it a superb wad for non-toxic pellets of many different materials.
Data: The BP1253 is NOT the same wad as the PT1253. Therefore, all new loading data is being produced for the BP1253. It is molded out of new TPS material made right here in the USA. Different materials mean different load results. Do NOT use load data that was originally tested for the PT1253.

Curmudgeon's Loading Tips:
MYLAR: Steel and tungsten pellets are abrasive and can cause barrel damage if the shot protrudes through the wad slit or otherwise comes into direct contact with bore/barrel. Add Mylar Wraps as an insurance policy in order to reduce the chances of barrel damage due to hard, abrasive pellets. Mylar (Mythin) may be trimmed and added to any of the loads for the BP1253.
TYPE: 1-1/4 oz lead loads (with overfill of shotcup), 7/8 oz steel shot. Other Multi-Metal loads include bismuth and other tungsten-type pellets, including BPX-12, SpheroTungsten 15.0 and 18.0.
The BP1253 wad features a multi-folding cushion section and a very accommodating shotcup with four 45-degree angled slits set in thick (.045") high-density plastic resin.
- Overall length: 1.780"
- Shotcup depth: 1.110"
- Cushion section: .450"
NOTE: The reduced internal volume of tapered target hulls (Win AA-HS and Rem STS) do not function with the BP1253 wad. You won't see data for this combination because it simply does not work. Really, we tried.
