How to Choose 12 Gauge Ammo
Picking the right 12 gauge ammo depends on your intended use. Are you hunting, defending your home, or just looking for affordable rounds for target practice? Each type of 12 gauge shotshell performs differently based on its design, shot size, and projectile type.
- Buckshot is ideal for close-range defense and big game hunting due to its powerful stopping power.
- Rifled slugs offer excellent accuracy for longer-range shooting with smoothbore shotguns.
- Hollow point 12 gauge ammo expands on impact, making it a smart choice for personal defense.
- Frangible buckshot is designed to break apart upon impact, reducing the risk of over-penetration.
When in doubt, talk to us, we’re here to help you decide which option is right for your setup and goals.
What 12 Gauge Ammo is Best for Home Defense?
If you’re shopping for 12 gauge shotgun ammo specifically for home defense, you’ll want something reliable, effective, and with controlled spread. Many customers choose 12 gauge buckshot for its ability to deliver multiple projectiles with high energy at close range.
Hollow point shells are another solid option. They’re engineered to expand and slow down on impact, which minimizes the risk of penetrating walls or unintended targets. Frangible ammo is a smart solution in tight spaces like homes or apartments, as it breaks apart on hard surfaces.
Whatever you choose, make sure to test it at the range first. Get a feel for the recoil and pattern so you know exactly what to expect in a real situation.
