Shotgun Ammunition

Shotgun ammunition is designed for smoothbore shotguns and serves hunters, sport shooters, clay-target competitors, and homeowners who use shotguns for defensive purposes. Loads may contain multiple pellets for hunting or defensive applications, while others use a single slug for a more focused projectile. The right choice depends on both your shotgun and intended use.Before buying, confirm the gauge and chamber length marked on your firearm, then consider the load type, shot size or slug choice, and the activity you have planned. Recoil, patterning, and the type of target can also affect your selection. Browse 12 Gauge, 20 Gauge, or .410 Bore to narrow your options. Ammunition ships to your door where local law allows. If a firearm needs to be shipped to a local dealer, see FFL transfers.
