Choosing the Best Shotgun Ammo

The best shotgun ammo depends on your shotgun gauge, intended use, and recoil preference. Target shooters typically choose lighter birdshot loads for reduced recoil and affordability, while hunters often prefer high-brass shells for added power. For defensive use, buckshot and slugs are commonly selected due to their stopping capability.

If you’re unsure which shotgun shells to choose, comparing gauge, shot size, velocity, and shell length will help you narrow down the best option for your needs.
