FAQs

What are the main types of 12 gauge ammo and when do you use them?

Birdshot is for clay targets and small birds. Buckshot is the go-to for home defense and many law enforcement roles. Slugs are single-projectile rounds for hunting medium to large game and precise shot placement.

How do shell length and payload affect performance?

Common lengths are 2 3/4 inch, 3 inch, and 3 1/2 inch. Longer shells typically hold more shot or powder and produce higher velocities and energy.

How do slugs perform and which type should I pick?

Rifled slugs stabilize from smoothbore barrels and are effective at short to moderate ranges. Sabot slugs need a rifled barrel and offer higher velocity and accuracy for longer-range shots.

Can I use any 12 gauge shell in my shotgun?

Not always. Verify your shotgun’s chamber length and whether it is rated for magnum loads. Using a 3 1/2 inch magnum shell in a 2 3/4 inch only chamber can be dangerous.
