12 Gauge Shotgun Shells For Sale
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.

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

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.

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

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!

Great shells with excellent quality however they do measure long. I have a Mosseberg 590 Tactical, normally holds 8 in the tube. These shells are longer than normal 2 3/4” and thus can only load 7. Need another 1/2” to get 8 in.
