Having the right shotgun ammo in your firearm will make all the difference in different target situations and applications. We carry a full line of shotshells and shotgun slugs for target clays, hunting, and self-defense/home defense. We aim to carry more than just our huge selection of 12 Gauge Ammo, and we have every gauge in modern production. Shotgun ammo, also known as shotgun shells, is a type of cartridge specifically designed for use in shotguns. Shotgun shells typically consist of a brass or plastic casing, a primer, gunpowder, and one or multiple projectiles. There are tons of different shotgun loads, and we aim to have them all. We have plenty of varieties of shotgun ammo for sale, including birdshot, which consists of a lot of tiny beads that are made to fan out and take down birds when they're in flight. We also have buckshot, which is a load that has anywhere between 8 and 16 pellets in it, depending on the size of the cartridge and the type of buckshot you get. These shotgun shells are designed to stay in a somewhat close grouping so that you can take down deer at longer ranges. If you're going for maximum distance, we also have slugs in a variety of calibers. These shotshells feature one large projectile that is designed for maximum power and accuracy at distance. No matter what shotgun shells you're looking for, we can help you find them.
Check out the most sought-after shotgun ammo brands like Remington, Winchester (including Winchester Super-X, Winchester Xpert, and Winchester AA), and Hornady (including Hornady SST Shotgun Slugs).
What Ammo Should I Use for 12 Gauge Shotgun?
A 12-gauge shotgun should only load 12 gauge shotgun shells. Never mix your ammo and weapons, such as loading 12 gauge shells in a 20 gauge weapon or vice versa, as the wrong shotgun shells can damage your weapon, lead to feeding malfunctions, and can lead to serious injury or death. It's important to select the appropriate type of ammunition for your needs and to use it safely. Always make sure to use the correct gauge of shotgun ammo and to follow all safety guidelines and regulations when using firearms and ammunition.
The type of ammunition you use for a 12-gauge shotgun will depend on the intended use of the shotgun. Here are some common types of 12-gauge ammunition:
- Birdshot: Birdshot is a type of ammunition that consists of many small lead pellets and is typically used for hunting small game or bird hunting.
- Buckshot: Buckshot shotgun shells are a type of ammunition that consists of larger lead pellets and is typically used for hunting larger game or for self-defense. Buckshot ammo is also used by law enforcement and military personnel, as well as civilians.
- Slugs: Slugs are solid projectiles, typically made of lead, that are designed for hunting large game, taking longer-range shots, and in some police and military applications.
- Low-Recoil Ammunition: Reduced recoil ammunition is designed to produce less felt recoil, making it easier to shoot for those who are sensitive to recoil.
Which Shotgun Ammo is the Best?
Since they’re so versatile, there’s no one type of shotgun ammo that is the “best”. The right shotgun shells depend on how you plan to use your firearm, as each shotshell type specializes in something different. For example, buckshot shotgun shells are best used for hunting deer, while birdshot is for hunting birds!
