Introduction to 12Ga Shot Ammo

The 12-gauge shotgun, also known as the 12ga shotgun, is widely used for various purposes such as hunting waterfowl and turkey, self-defense, and sport shooting with firearms of different weight. Its popularity, especially among the Canadian shotgun community, is attributed to its versatility and the wide availability of 12-gauge ammo. This universal acclaim and breadth of use make it a standard stock item in every Canada firearm outlet. So, what does the 12ga shot denote? It refers to the shell shotgun specifically designed for 12-gauge shot. The appropriate times and situations to use this ammo is something we’ll explore in detail.

What does 12ga stand for?

Gauge refers to the bore size of a shotgun. The 12gage, for instance, has a bore diameter of approximately 18.5 millimeters or 0.729 inches. Shot size, on the other hand, determines the number of lead pellets inside the shell. Smaller shot sizes have higher numbers, while larger shot sizes have lower numbers. It’s important to understand the gauge and shot size to select the appropriate ammo for your specific needs. For instance, a typical 12-gauge ammo packed in a shotgun shell box may contain a particular number of 12-ga shot pellets depending on the shot size.

Introduction to 12Ga Shot Ammo

There are several types of 12-gauge shot ammunition products available, each designed for different purposes. Let’s explore the three main types: Buckshot, Birdshot and Slugs. All these types and more you can find at our shop equipped with both firearms and related accessories like cases and knives.

2. Understanding Gauge and Shot Size

Buckshot is commonly used for self-defense and law enforcement purposes. It consists of large lead pellets and delivers a powerful impact. The most common buckshot sizes for 12-gauge shotguns are 00 buck and 000 buck. These 12-gauge shots provide excellent stopping power, making them ideal for close-quarters encounters and are often contained in a 12ga shotgun shell.

Birdshot, on the other hand, is designed for hunting birds and small game. It contains multiple smaller lead or steel pellets, providing a wider shot pattern. The smaller pellets reduce the risk of over-penetration, making it suitable for hunting in areas with potential obstacles or bystanders. These pellets are customarily filled in a 12-ga shotgun shell, making it a versatile shot shell.

Slugs are single solid projectiles made of lead or other materials, often stacked in a shotgun shell. They are designed for increased accuracy and range, making them suitable for hunting larger game or engaging targets at longer distances. Whether rifled or sabot, each type of 12-ga slug offers unique advantages.
