Frequently Asked Questions
Remington 870 Ammo for Sale

What ammo does the Remington 870 take?

The Remington 870 is available in 12, 20, 28, and .410 gauge. Most common is the 12 gauge, chambered for 2.75-inch or 3-inch shells. Compatible loads include birdshot, buckshot, and slugs. Your specific model's barrel markings indicate which shell lengths are safe to use.

What's better, 7 1/2 or 8 shot?

For trap and sporting clays, #7½ retains energy better at distance and breaks harder targets more reliably than #8. #8 works fine on closer, well-presented targets. The best choice depends on your discipline, typical target distance, and sometimes simply which load your gun patterns best.

Can I shoot slugs out of my Remington 870?

Yes, your 870 handles slugs safely. Smoothbore barrels work well with Foster-type slugs like Remington Sluggers. If your barrel has a fixed choke, modified or looser is ideal, though cylinder choke works too. Avoid full choke. Verify your barrel's chamber length matches your slug's shell length before shooting.

What is 12-gauge 8 shot good for?

12-gauge #8 shot is best suited for doves, quail, woodcock, and clay target shooting. The small pellets produce dense patterns at close to moderate ranges but lose effectiveness beyond 40 yards. It's a standard choice for upland bird hunters and recreational trap or skeet shooters.

Which is bigger, 00 Buckshot or 000 Buckshot?

000 buckshot is bigger. 000 pellets measure approximately 0.36 inches in diameter, while 00 pellets measure approximately 0.33 inches. The larger 000 pellets deliver more energy individually but result in fewer pellets per shell compared to 00 buckshot.

Can you shoot a 00 buck out of a full choke?

Yes, you can shoot 00 buck through a full choke safely. However, full choke often produces erratic patterns with buckshot. Most shooters get better results with a modified or more open choke. Pattern your gun with your specific ammo to verify performance before relying on it.

What hurts more, buckshot or slug?

Slugs generally cause more damage due to their concentrated mass and deeper penetration. Buckshot spreads multiple pellets, increasing hit probability but with less individual penetration. At close range, both are extremely lethal. Distance and shot placement ultimately determine overall effectiveness.

Is a Remington 870 a 12 gauge or 20 gauge?

The Remington 870 is available in multiple gauges, including 10 gauge, 12 gauge, 16 gauge, 20 gauge, 28 gauge, and .410 bore. Check the barrel or receiver markings on your specific shotgun to confirm its chambering.
