Legend Gen: discover the new generation!

Some products are not created to impress, but to refine what already works. Legend Gen is one of them. A shotshell that over the years has earned the trust of the most demanding shooters, and that today returns to the shooting line in a new generation, designed to meet the needs of an increasingly technical, velocity, and specialized style of shooting.

Baschieri & Pellagri chose not to overturn a winning balance, but to start by listening to shooters: complex target presentations, long clays, difficult angles, and decisive fractions of a second.
This is where the Legend Gen line in 12 gauge comes from, renewed in its ballistic setup and designed to deliver targeted performance in every discipline, while maintaining the reliability that has always distinguished the brand.

Three shotshells, two payloads, one philosophy: a structured line created to precisely cover the main clay shooting disciplines.
Maximum consistency, controlled patterns, and usable power shot after shot.

Legend Gen 24: pure speed for trap and skeet.

The Legend 24 grams represents the essence of speed applied to shooting. A shotshell designed for those seeking immediate responsiveness, reduced lead management, consistent patterns, and strong breaking power, even on medium to high difficulty target presentations.

Available with:
• No. 7.5 shot (2.4 mm) for Trap
• No. 9.5 shot (2.0 mm) for Skeet

The pre-slit wad opens perfectly every time and performs flawlessly even with the minimum payload, ensuring excellent and consistent patterns despite the reduced number of pellets. The muzzle velocity is around 1395 fps (425 m/s) in a Full choke barrel (+10 m/s compared to the old Legend version) makes this shotshell extremely energetic on target impact, making it ideal for the fast pace of trap.

In the Skeet version, the Legend Gen 24 stands out for its power and distribution consistency, easily adjustable thanks to the interchangeable chokes of modern shotguns. A fast, consistent cartridge that gives back a lot to shooters who know how to exploit it.

 

 

Legend Gen-S 28 No. 7.5: absolute balance, total versatility.

The Legend Gen-S 28 grams with No. 7.5 shot is the “all-rounder” of the line, only in the noblest sense of the word. It is the ideal choice for all clay shooting disciplines that require balanced patterns at medium distances and strong breaking power on more demanding targets. It's the perfect choice for:

  • Universal trap

  • Sporting clay and Compak Sporting 

With a velocity of 1345 fps (410 m/s )(V1) in a full choke barrel, it naturally combines power and control. Patterns are regular and sufficiently dense, and their effectiveness on targets often leads shooters to use them even as a first barrel in Electrocibles. A reliable, no-nonsense cartridge, built for those who seek solid performance in every context.

Legend Gen-S 28 No. 8: generous patterns, perfect timing.

Completing the range is the Legend Gen-S 28 grams with No. 8 shot (2.3 mm) fitted with a Piston Skeet wad. Here, the goal is clear: to open the pattern and make it generous already at short-medium distances, improving interception of close and fast targets.

The 1345 fps velocity and its characteristics make this shotshell an ideal choice for:

  • Sporting Clays and DTL as a first barrel for medium-distance shots

  • for Compak Sporting on medium-distance targets; and as a second barrel for incoming frontal targets.

The Piston Skeet wad works distinctively, promoting air entry between the pellets from the base as they exit the barrel, resulting in a wide and uniform distribution, particularly appreciated in short-to-medium range shots.

 

A new generation, the same soul

Legend Gen does not change its identity, it evolves it. A new ballistic setup, increased speed for trap and skeet, the introduction of the Piston wad for sporting and compak, and a renewed design that visually reflects what the cartridge is on the shooting line: modern, reliable, high-performance. Ask your trusted gunstore.
