Frequently asked questions

What does 00 buck mean in shotgun ammunition?

00 buck refers to pellet size—nine pellets of 00 buckshot fit per ounce. This load uses 15 pellets, meaning heavier total mass than smaller shot sizes. Commonly selected for defense and hunting roles where larger, fewer pellets deliver more energy per impact.

Can I use 3-inch shells in my 12-gauge shotgun?

Check your shotgun's chamber marking—it will state 2.75", 3", or both. If marked 3" or 2.75" and 3", you can safely use this ammunition. Never fire longer shells than your gun's rated chamber allows.
