12 Gauge

The 12 Gauge is the most popular shotgun shell in the world, thanks in no small part to its almost universal usage by law enforcement and military organizations. The best 12 Gauge ammo depends on what you’re doing. Choose a slug or 00 buckshot for deer hunting and home defense; steel shot for waterfowl; #5 for turkey or pheasant; #7.5 shot for trap, sporting clays and upland game; or #9 shot for skeet. (Those shot sizes aren’t set in stone – just jumping off points.)

Common 12 Gauge Questions

What Does “Gauge” Mean in 12 Gauge?

Shotguns and shotgun ammunition are classified by “gauge,” which is a measurement of the diameter of the barrel. Gauge is determined by the number of lead balls equal to the size of the bore that would be needed to weigh a pound. For 12 gauge, it would take 12 lead balls of the barrel’s diameter to weight a pound. The smaller the number in gauge, the larger the firearm’s diameter. 12-gauge shotguns have an internal barrel diameter, or “caliber,” of .729 inches.

What is the Difference Between 12-Gauge Buckshot and Birdshot?

Two of the most common loads for 12-gauge ammunition are buckshot and birdshot. Buckshot, which is used for deer hunting and other medium-sized game, has larger pellets, which means it hits the target with greater impact and drives deeper penetration. Because the pellets are larger, usually about .6 inches to .2 inches, buckshot loads have fewer total pellets. Birdshot loads are smaller but pack more total pellets. They are used for harvesting game birds ranging from crows to geese, and vary in size from .069 inches to over .2 inches. (There is some overlap in pellet size between birdshot and buckshot.)

What is 12-Gauge Ammo Should I Select for Deer Hunting?

For deer hunting, you will want either buckshot or slugs. As we discussed above, buckshot consists of larger pellets for deep penetration, which is needed to reach a deer’s vitals. The advantage of buckshot is that you have a spread with multiple projectiles, so you are more likely to hit the target’s vitals.

Slugs are a single projectile; essentially, a shotgun bullet. They have one solid piece, usually made from steel or lead, and they fire a heavy projectile that does maximum devastation to the target. Slugs are recommended when the shot is at a greater distance.

Is 12 Gauge Ammo Reliable for Home Defense?

There’s no question that a 12-gauge shotgun can do devastating damage to anyone threatening your home or family. The issue with 12-gauge is that it may actually be too much for home defense, as over-penetration is a real threat with this shotshell. The advantage of a 12-gauge is that they offer a spread, so you are more likely to hit a target in a tense, panicked situation. The disadvantage is that they have a lower shot capacity compared to many handguns. If you choose to protect your home with a 12-gauge shotgun, be sure to select an ammunition product made specifically for self-defense, which are usually buckshot loads with 2.75-inch shells.
