The 12 gauge shotgun has been around for nearly one hundred fifty years and is one of the most amazing firearms in the world. With this much use, the 12 gauge has shown itself to the whole world as the phenomenal, insanely effective firearm that it is. Whether you are looking for something to defend your family, destroy clay targets at the range, or put food on the table, the 12 gauge is the perfect, all purpose firearm for you.

Since 1855, Winchester has been making some of the best ammunition in the world, whether you need top of the line ammo or something inexpensive. With their incredible reputation, you don't have to worry about a thing when you use Winchester ammo. These Winchester Varmint-X, 3", 1 1/2 ounce, #BB shot shells are designed for eradicating your varmint problem and are some of the best shells you can hope to find for this purpose.

These 12 gauge 00 buckshot shells from Federal's Vital-Shok line are a small step up from budget loads that offer a bit more performance in both the hunting and home defense realms. Each of the nine 00 buck pellets in this shell is plated with copper, allowing the shot to resist deformation during barrel travel, an effort that is assisted by a cupped wad. Rounder pellets fly farther, group more closely together, and hit harder with penetrating power that will cause massive disruption in the chest cavity of a deer or an assailant.

When fired, the wad's piston-like bottom portion will collapse to reduce felt recoil while its skirt will flare outwards for efficient gas capture, contributing to consistent muzzle velocities. These components, along with clean-burning powder and a 209 primer, are contained within a high-brass head and moisture-repelling plastic hull. The reloadable hull has a strong crimp up top, a rolled edge for seamless insertion, and an unfolded length of 2-3/4 inches for safe compatibility with the most common 12 gauge shotgun chamber sizes.

This high-velocity 12 gauge buckshot load from Winchester's Double-X series excels at hunting or defense against predators.

Each 2-3/4" shell in this box of 5 fires a 9-pellet load of copper-plated 00 buckshot at 1,450 feet per second. This is about 10% faster than typical full-power buckshot loads and results in better medium-range patterning and penetration at the cost of higher recoil.

Winchester shotshells are loaded in Oxford, Mississippi using reliable 209 primers and Grex polymer buffering to reduce shot deformation.

If you live in a state or territory that doesn't allow rifle calibers for hunting or simply love the versatility of a 12 gauge shotgun with interchangeable barrels, you'll find that the prize inside this box from Hornady's Superformance brand is made just for you. Intended for use with rifled barrels, this shell profile consists of a sabot with a massive 300-grain Monoflex slug. The Monoflex design is made with an all-copper body with a pre-skived hollow cavity that is filled with a flexible polymer tip. This configuration produces aerodynamic drag resistance in flight for accuracy shots alongside massive expansion with minimal loss in weight during entry into a target.

The damage inflicted by the heavyweight projectile's expansion is sure to create massive wounds in the vital organs of a deer or small moose at appropriate distances. Each sabot slug is contained within a 2-3/4 inch plastic hull for versatile compatibility and propelled by clean-burning powder and a reliable 209 primer. Hornady's powder burns completely when used, leaving behind no excess residue in the grooves of your rifled barrel.
