12 Gauge Shotgun Shells For Sale
Overview of 12 Gauge Shotgun Shells
The 12 gauge is the most used shotgun shell today, and it has existed in its current cartridge configuration since the late 1800s. Twelve gauge rounds, often seen as 12ga, are used in various situations, including hunting birds and small game, recreational shooting, and home defense.
These ammunitions provide various options in close quarters but don’t perform well at long-distance shots because the projectiles quickly lose their velocity; they require a close-range target, typically 45 yards or less. Shooters who need more reach often turn to 12 gauge rifled slugs, which extend a smoothbore shotgun's effective range well beyond buckshot. You can also check out our in-depth look at 12 gauge slug ballistics if you want velocity, energy and drop figures for popular rifled and sabot loads.

I've been slinging S&B 00 buck around 20 years now and it's always been good. I get decent patterns and very reliable performance out of it. It's not flight control, so if you have a special purpose that involves longer ranges you might go somewhere else but this stuff is def good out to 50 yards. Ran great in my 1301 tactical so I'm gonna go ahead and grab some more

I purchased the ammo for use in 3 gun matches. The ammo shoots well considering the price, The drawback is the crimp. This ammo has a roll crimp instead of a normal crimp which makes it too long for the shoot shell carriers used in 3 gun and cuts down on the capacity that can be loaded in the shotgun tube.

Purchased 500 rounds of this ammo, shot 25 rounds without any problems. With the discount from facebook this purchase per box was cheaper than any other place I could have purchased this ammo. I have shot this ammo before with no problems, cycles well in my Saiga 12.

This is great low recoil buckshot, it's perfect for pistol grip only shotguns because of its low recoil. The pattern is also very tight. The crimp is also better than what I usually see on other brands so the buffer wont leak out into the magazine tube. You can't go wrong with this ammo and I plan to order more when its back in stock.

Was really fortunate to find #7 steel two weeks before dove opener. Ammo performed great. Ammo.com got my order out the door very fast in a well packaged case. I will certainly be buying more products from them

Great value and great performance from a reliable brand, significant less recoil than a 3 inch shell that better suits my needs for home defense.

These are hot shells that kick more than a slug, i love them. But most people aren't gonna be looking for this kinda kick. I definitely would order more if they were in stock though.
