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.

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