    Pre-Order | 20 Gauge 3" 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 approaching 85% or better — 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™.*

    Grab yours here.


    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

    On my 4th case for the season, will never buy another 20 gauge round as long as boss is in business. Spend most of my seasons now in Kansas, so we deal with the strong winds and open water shots frequently. Ran out of shells new years week, had to go back to Black Cloud for one morning, never again. First shot kicked powder back in my eyes, did not have near the knock down power...quickly reminded me why I walked away from them. Birds that were 30-40yds getting clean kills with Boss's were misses and/or crips with Federals with same leads, same RR chokes. Also shoot Boss Tom's through turkey season all across the U.S., confirmed kills up to distances I wouldn't think twice about shooting with other brands. BOSS is a perfect name, literally the BOSS in waterfowl and other game loads.

    Took a box of 3/5 copper with me on a solo hunt for geese and I can comfortably say they hammered the geese. will be buying bb/2 shot for the 12ga next.
    Impressive

    Hunted specks in Arkansas this weekend with a couple big groups. I had my 20ga Citori - all I know is there were multiple times the birds I was looking at when I shot crumpled when I pulled the trigger. I'm not claiming them, I'm not jumping up and down like I'm a stone cold killer. But, I can say, on multiple occasions, the birds I was looking at folded. On one occasion, the speck I was looking at and even the one next to it folded like a rag doll.

    Shot the 20ga two of three hunts last week. One hunt over water the other a feed field. Shot snows and ducks and the 20ga copper 3/5 & 4 shot does a pretty Damn Great job at folding them up. Most shots were 30-40. Since shooting Boss the last handful of years I have become a lot bigger fan of shooting my 20 & 28 gauge guns on hunts I never use to consider it. Quality ammo makes a huge difference in that!

    Took a couple boxes on a Kansas pheasant hunt to try them out before duck season in Arkansas. These shells rock! After a few of the shots that were made with 20ga, everyone wanted to know where to get some. I've been using legacy bismuth for several years now and could not tell much difference.

    Have shot these and the 16 gauge copper. Love the product and it’s 20 bucks a box less than other brands inferior bismuth.

    I have been using this ammo since I started using my 20 gauge last year and have had nothing but great results. This is like turning back the time to lead. Great range, hit hard and kill the targets. Very good pattern. No hangups. I am using a 20 gauge M2 Benelli. No more 12 gauge for me. Pricy but well worth it.
    Fewer misses, fewer cripples. ( Verified Buyer )

    Boss shells just flat out work! Can't wait for the smaller shot sizes to come out for upland hunting.
    Great All Around ( Verified Buyer )

    I had to back off the mag for teal season, just too harsh. Great for big ducks including geese. i will say Im using a Super Black Eagle 3 with a Briley custom job and choke. I have had more jams this year than any other I remember. I clean and lube after each weekend, running about 25-30 shells through it. Very please with ammo though, longer more accurat shots with fewer cripples.
