Shotgun Shells

12 Gauge Ammo

Modern shotgun shells offer maximum adaptability to today's shooters. The same shotgun can hit the swamps for duck hunting one day, switch to buckshot during whitetail season, and serve as your home defense weapon every day in between. We carry a variety of shotgun shells, specialized for each specific task at hand. 

12 Gauge Slug 

A slug is a modernized shotgun's heavy projectile, typically consisting of lead, copper, or another material. Slugs have a wide variety of applications, including hunting big game. W. Brenneke created the first practical modern shotgun slug in 1898, and his invention is still in use today. Shotgun slugs often work best when used with either a cylinder bore, an enhanced cylinder choke, a rifled choke tube, or a fully rifled bore. Stabilization is what sets slugs apart from standard lead projectiles like round balls.

12 Gauge Buckshot 

Shotgun shells, also known as shot shells, are a type of rimmed, cylindrical cartridge used in shotguns. They are loaded with a significant number of small, pellet-like spherical sub-projectiles called shot and propelled down a smoothbore barrel that branches out slightly at the muzzle causing the round to scatter throughout the impact area of the target. 

.410 Gauge 

Shotgun shells with a.410 bore are among the smallest available. Small game hunting and pest management are two of the many uses for a .410-bore shotgun loaded with shotshells. There are also revolvers that are capable of shooting the .410 gauge round, which makes it very popular in the United States due to it's dual compatibility.
