The quality control represents for Baschieri & Pellagri a permanent feature before, during and after the production process.
Baschieri & Pellagri has a state of the art test bench with chemists and skilled technicians, who, every day, make several checks on components and shot shells, in order to guarantee the best products.
Stages:
Careful and rigorous selection of suppliers.
Continuous and methodical checks on the raw materials.
Constant checks during the whole production, up to 33 different and independent control operations for each shift.
Functional and performance tests of the finished products.
Qualified and professional assistance towards all stakeholders.
The complex of the quality procedures is developed and revised inside the company with the same compliance of the controls to the product development and its realization stages.
Our company as one of the first retailers on this product in the US have decided to do extensive testing of Baschieri & Pellagri shot shells before we offered them to the public. Our in house staff has found these shot shells to some of the highest quality ammunition we have even used. We have tested both lead and steel shot and found all shot to be extremely uniform in size varying only one and half thousands on an inch between pellets and found the shot size listed to be spot on industry standards. Lead shot ammunition was found to be a hard lead alloy that resist deforming and produce uniform patterns. The steel shot we have examined was so uniformly round it could be used as ball bearings. We simply never see this type of quality in inexpensive shells and they certainly rival any shells at any price. Another very unusually quality of Baschieri & Pellagri is their high velocity compared to other companies. Sure they have many shells of standard velocity we are all used to but they also have some lead shot loads at 1500 fps. Normally the top speed for lead is about 1350 fps due to the lead deforming. Steel shot is commonly pushed to 1500 FPS because it's hard enough to resist deforming. This is the first ammunition we have seen pushing lead at 1500 FPS, that is on

particular item.
The 20-gauge follows the 12-gauge as America's second-most popular shotgun gauge. And, with modern shotshells, continues to gain ground. The 20-gauge has a bore diameter of .615-inch, with modern shells in either 2 3/4 "standard" or 3-inch "magnum" length. Most modern shotguns are chambered to handle both. Payloads vary from light-recoiling 5/8-ounce loads all the way to heavy turkey loads carrying 1 5/16 ounces of shot. Standard 2 3/4" loads for targets and upland birds are normally 7/8 or one ounce. At its very best the 20-gauge does not have the capability of a 12-gauge...but with modern shot, wad columns, and chokes it doesn't give up much, and it can be built into a much lighter shotgun developing less recoil. Virtually all manufacturers offer 20-gauge guns, and they are available in all action types and for virtually all shotgunning sports. The 20-gauge joins the 12, 28, and .410 as one of four events in skeet competition, and is becoming increasingly popular for sporting clays.
