16 Gauge

16 gauge shotgun ammunition is commonly chosen by hunters and sporting shooters who use 16 gauge shotguns for upland birds, small game, clay targets, and general field shooting. The gauge offers a traditional balance of manageable recoil, shot capacity, and carrying comfort, making it appealing to owners of classic and modern 16 gauge firearms. Shoppers typically browse this category when they need shells matched to a familiar shotgun and intended activity.When choosing shells, consider the shot size for your target, the payload and velocity suited to your shotgun and shooting style, the shell length your firearm accepts, and whether you want target, field, or specialty loads. Check your shotgun’s markings and owner’s manual before ordering. Browse related options in Shotgun Ammunition.
