History 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.

What are the most popular 12 Gauge brands you sell?

The left sidebar allows you to filter our entire selection to see which brands we currently have in stock and available using the Manufacturers filter. You can also filter by attributes such as Pellet Type, Load Weight, Shell Length, and Shot Material to find what you need.

Customer Reviews

  • Ariel said:

    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.

  • TH said:

    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

  • Mark A said:

    Great ammo . Does what it should do. I just wish AMMO.COM had better gear . A shirt with their logo on the front and back, would be a huge seller.

  • Ronald said:

    Researched 12 ga 00 Buck ammo. availability and price locally and on-line before finding Ammo.com. (referred by a friend). Pleasantly surprised by the stock and price of this and other cal. of ammunition at Ammo.com. Order arrived super fast and I am very pleased with selection, price, and delivery of my order. How pleased? Well I sent a link to all my friends and associates about Ammo.com. Great to know that 1% of my sale went to a 2nd Amendment - Pro-Gun organization of my choice too! Keep up the great work Ammo.com.

  • spymyeyes said:

    Quality ammo MADE IN AMERICA! Every round went bang and cycled perfectly. For bulk orders they should cut down on the excessive packaging. 50 or 100 rounds per box instead of 5 rounds per box.

  • Bud Jones said:

    Tight pattern maximizing impact on threat. Never had one fail to fire. My go to self defense shell. And fun to shoot.

  • Jeff said:

    The ammo I purchased from ammo.com preformed phenomenally. I had no issues with the ammo arriving on time nor performance. I will most definitely purchase my ammo through ammo.com. Jeff

  • Kristian223 said:

    Shot all 250 rounds in one and a half hours not one miss fire or hickup, great clay ammo will be buying more in the future.

  • Danb said:

    This ammo does very well in a semi auto shotgun. I have a variety of shotguns and frm pump to gas it cycles as well as anything else I have run.

  • Zip Waytt said:

    The pattern was awesome. The shot had no problem hitting the target and knocking them down.

  • Sunday said:

    Bought these from big 5 and shot 100 rounds through my 12 gauge Dickinson and didn't have a single problem very nice for clay disk not a whole lot of kickback two thumbs up

  • Slapppy said:

    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

  • Kenneth said:

    How did you do that? I think you bypassed standard delivery (FedEx, UPS) & used your Circus Cannon. These shells hit my front porch before I heard the report. All kidding aside, thanks for providing a good product with such excellent customer service, especially during this trying time. You are greatly appreciated!

  • ShotgunMike said:

    Ammo is what you would expect, its good. If you ever need ammo, ammo.com. Honestly the best. Ammo is good, ammo.com is great.

  • Hey Now said:

    These shipped quickly, delivered quickly, and they work!! Pew pew boom!! Options are limited at the moment, and this was just right.

  • J-Green said:

    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.

  • John said:

    shot just fine, no problems...

  • kingfish said:

  • William said:

    Good price and great ammo what else can you ask for. Oh and fast shipping!

  • Gunslinger said:

    These shells are longer than 2 3/4" but shorter than 3", which means you'll one less in your tube magazine than expected. So just treat them like 3" shells.

  • Will said:

    These were cheap. All the slugs are crooked in the casings, im not sure how this is supposed to be accurate. result was, as expected, very inaccurate. Fine for close range only.

  • emt59 said:
