12 Gauge

12 Gauge ammunition is made for 12-gauge shotguns, a versatile choice for hunters, clay-target shooters, and people who keep a shotgun for personal protection. Loads are available for different uses, from upland birds and waterfowl to turkey hunting and recreational shooting. The right shell depends on the shotgun and the activity, so shoppers should confirm their firearm’s chamber length and use ammunition suited to it.When choosing, consider the intended purpose, shot type and size, payload, and shell length. Recoil and range can also affect comfort and performance, especially during extended shooting sessions. Review the manufacturer’s recommendations for your shotgun, then browse the broader Shotgun Ammunition category for additional options. Ammunition ships to your door where local law allows. If having a firearm shipped to a local dealer, see FFL transfers.
