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.

Bullet Points: 12 Gauge Ammo

The most used shotgun to this day, the 12 gauge shell has existed in its current cartridge configuration since the late 1800s.
From brass to paper to plastic hulls, shotgun ammo technology grew rapidly in the first half of the 20th century. This evolution also brought the iconic Model 500 pump shotgun.
The use of 12 gauge for self defense is growing once again, and specialty ammo is being produced to provide low recoil, buckshot combinations and smaller pellets. When it comes to the 12 gauge versus handguns, the 12 gauge wins with quicker proficiency, greater accuracy, more energy and less issues with over-penetration.
