Frequently Asked Questions
Remington Shotgun Ammo

Does Remington make shotgun ammo?

Yes, Remington manufactures shotgun ammunition in multiple gauges and load types for hunting, trap shooting, and sporting clays.

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

Choice depends on distance and target type. 7½ shot carries more energy at longer ranges and penetrates harder angles better, while 8 shot provides a denser pattern at closer distances. For trap, both 7½ and 8 shot are popular choices, with some shooters preferring 8 or 8.5. For skeet and close sporting clays presentations, 8 shot is common.

How many pellets are in a 12-gauge 7 1/2 shot?

A standard 12-gauge shell loaded with 7½ shot typically contains around 344–387 pellets, varying by shot weight and manufacturer. A 1-ounce load holds roughly 344 pellets, while a 1⅛-ounce load contains approximately 387 pellets.

What is 12-gauge 8 shot good for?

12-gauge 8 shot works well for upland game birds, clay target sports, and small game at closer ranges. Its small pellets create dense patterns ideal for trap, skeet, and sporting clays. Hunters use it for doves, quail, and woodcock where tight patterns matter more than deep penetration.

Do all 12 gauge shotguns take the same ammo?

All 12-gauge shotguns accept 12-gauge shells, but chamber length matters. Most shoot 2¾-inch shells; some handle 3-inch or 3½-inch magnum loads. Always check your shotgun's chamber marking before loading. Shells from other gauges won't fit and can cause dangerous malfunctions.

What is the shelf life of 12 gauge ammo?

Properly stored 12-gauge shells remain functional for decades. Manufacturers conservatively recommend using ammunition within ten years, but modern shotshells can last much longer under ideal conditions. Keep shells in a cool, dry place away from moisture and temperature extremes to maximize longevity.

What type of 12-gauge shotgun shell is best for home defense?

Buckshot is the standard choice for home defense. #1 buck or 00 buck offer reliable stopping power with manageable recoil. Always verify your shotgun's chamber length before purchasing, as most modern shotguns accept 2¾-inch or 3-inch shells.

What's better, slugs or buckshot?

Slugs offer longer-range accuracy and deeper penetration, making them better for larger game or precise shots. Buckshot spreads multiple pellets, improving hit probability on moving targets at closer ranges. The right choice depends on your target, hunting distance, and local regulations.

What's better, 00 or 000 buckshot?

00 buck has more pellets per shell and far greater ammunition availability. 000 buck uses larger pellets that penetrate deeper but delivers fewer of them. For most defensive and hunting applications, 00 buck is the practical choice; 000 buck suits situations requiring maximum penetration.

What is a 7 1/2 shot good for?

7½ shot works well for hunting small game birds like doves, quail, woodcock, and pigeons. Its small pellets create a dense pattern ideal for moderate-range shooting. It's also popular for trap, skeet, and sporting clays competitions where consistent patterns matter.

What is a 12 gauge #4 shot used for?

12 gauge #4 shot is commonly used for turkey hunting, short-range duck hunting, and upland birds like pheasant at longer ranges. Each pellet measures .13 inches. Federal law requires nontoxic shot for migratory waterfowl.

What is the Remington 12 gauge game load?

Remington Game Loads are 12-gauge shotshells for small game and upland bird hunting. They feature 2.75" shells with 1 oz. of lead shot in sizes #7.5 and #8 at 1,290 fps velocity. A box typically costs around $29.

Are Remington game loads steel or lead?

Remington Game Loads use lead shot, available in sizes from #6 through #8. Designed for small game and upland birds, they come in 2.75" cases carrying 1 oz of lead pellets at 1,290 fps.

What is game load shotgun shell?

Game loads are shotgun shells designed for hunting small game and upland birds. They use smaller shot sizes like #7.5 or #8 and are loaded at moderate velocities suitable for close-range hunting. Many consider them essentially identical to target loads with different packaging, though some sources cite shot hardness as a minor distinction.

How to tell if shotgun ammo is lead or steel?

Check the box label first—manufacturers must identify steel shot. If unlabeled, use a magnet; steel is magnetic, lead isn't. Steel pellets also weigh roughly one-third less than lead of the same size, so comparing them side-by-side reveals the difference.
