    Pre-Order | 16 2 3/4" Boss CuProX Shotshells Details

    Engineered for Lethal Performance Inside 40–45 Yards


    Legacy was built around a simple goal:


    Deliver maximum lethal efficiency within real-world hunting distances.


    Legacy began with bismuth - the shell that defined Boss and proved that thoughtful engineering could outperform conventional assumptions. CuProX™ carries that same philosophy forward, refining performance through aerodynamics and efficiency while staying true to the foundation that built the brand.


    Running CuProX at 1350 fps places the pellet within an optimized velocity window - balancing pellet energy, pattern density, and aerodynamic efficiency to produce consistent terminal performance where most shots actually happen.


    This isn’t about chasing velocity.


    It’s about delivering dependable lethality inside 40–45 yards.


    For the same shot size:

    Steel often relies on higher muzzle velocity (such as 1500 fps) to compensate for lower density, but sheds energy quickly due to higher drag.

    Boss Bismuth established the Legacy standard through density and proven field performance.

    CuProX™ builds on that foundation by improving aerodynamic efficiency, allowing more usable pellet energy to be retained within the effective range envelope.


    At typical Legacy distances:

    CuProX at 1350 fps delivers approximately 18% more retained pellet energy than steel at 1500 fps, despite the lower muzzle velocity.

    CuProX delivers approximately 4% more retained pellet energy than Boss Bismuth at 1350 fps, reinforcing Legacy’s reputation for reliable lethality.


    Pattern Control Where It Matters


    Legacy with CuProX is engineered for predictable performance across a wide range of choke configurations.


    Choke it as tight or as open as conditions demand.

    With full chokes, shooters can expect 40-yard patterns in the mid-80% range — representing up to a 15% improvement over Legacy Bismuth.

    For tighter shots, opening the choke produces larger, dense, uniform patterns, maintaining consistency through aerodynamic stability rather than excessive velocity.


    *Until March 15th, get a Boss Factory Performance Choke for just $30 with the purchase of a case of Boss loaded with CuProX™.*

    CuProX maintains pellet integrity on impact, eliminating the fragmentation sometimes associated with bismuth while delivering consistent penetration.


    Deadlier by Design.

    Copper shot was deemed non-toxic in 2013 by the USFWS. Once our Mark III tester is approved by the USFWS we anticipate an updated formal approval to be added to the USFWS Approved Shot List

    Second life for Vintage 16 birdguns ( Verified Buyer )

    Deputy Dan (Ada Michigan) | December 14th, 2025
    Just wrapped my Dec MI pheasant season hunting in a game area requiring nontox. Carried my vintage 16 ga. Browning Superlight. Boss copper #5 is the real deal. Put the hurt on 5 roosters, including one distant crosser at lead shot in its heyday range. No cripples. Happy dogs. Breathes new life into semi-retired vintage 16 ga. birdguns. Thanks for providing the shotshells to revive fine older subguages.

    At 75 years of age I have collected a few guns along the way. Until Boss came along I wasn't able to use them in restricted areas or for waterfowl. I refused to buy a new gun as I liked shooting my favorites. Thank you Boss for giving my old guns there life back.

    Got a chance to shoot these last weekend. They hit hard and dropped birds. The previous weekend I shot Hevi Bismuth and had a lot of cripples. Could have been my shooting, but less cripples with the Boss Copper. Pleased and will buy more.

    I was skeptical about having to switch from Legacy #6s to Copper #5 but this turned out to be a great combo for both my guns. There was a very noticeable level of lethality between the Legacy and especially the lead and steel I have previously shot. I was not able to pattern them before my pheseant hunt by plan on putting them on paper in the next couple weeks. I hope a #6 shot is in the works.

    Really enjoy shooting a lighter gauge for ducks in tight situations. Boss 3/5 16ga is lethal and also enjoyable to shoot.
