S&B 12 Gauge 2.75" 1.25oz 00 Buckshot 12 Pellets - 10 Rounds/Box (250 Rounds/Case)

S&B 12 gauge 2.75" 00 buckshot ammunition delivers reliable, consistent performance for home defense, tactical training, and hunting applications where medium-range stopping power matters. Sellier & Bellot loads each shell with 12 pellets of 00 buckshot at 1.25 ounces, engineered for the velocity and pattern control serious shooters demand. Whether you're stocking your safe for personal protection or running drills at the range, this Czech-made ammunition has earned its reputation for dependable ignition and uniform payload across every round.

Sellier & Bellot has been manufacturing ammunition since 1825, and that heritage shows in attention to quality that budget brands often skip. These 12-pellet loads are packaged 10 rounds per box for convenient handling and storage, and sold in 250-round cases—enough to get serious work done without constant resupply runs. The 2.75" shell length is the standard for most modern shotguns, making compatibility straightforward for the vast majority of 12 gauge shotguns in circulation.

Buckshot ammunition is inherently less forgiving than birdshot when it comes to precision—the larger pellets follow ballistic paths that diverge more dramatically downrange—so shot placement and awareness of your environment matter as much as the ammunition itself. That said, consistent loading means consistent performance from your gun, and that consistency is where S&B buckshot earns its place in the rotation of serious shooters who refuse to compromise on reliability.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will S&B 12 gauge 2.75" buckshot work in my shotgun?

Yes, provided your shotgun is chambered for 12 gauge and rated for 2.75" shells. The 2.75" length is the standard shell size for most modern 12 gauge shotguns. Check your owner's manual or barrel marking to confirm compatibility; if your gun is stamped for 3" or 3.5" shells, it will still fire 2.75" ammunition safely.

How many pellets does each shell contain?

Each shell contains 12 pellets of 00 buckshot. The 00 designation refers to the pellet diameter; 00 buckshot is commonly used for defensive and tactical applications where a larger projectile and deeper penetration are desired.

What's the difference between a 10-round box and the 250-round case?

The ammunition is identical—12 pellets of 00 buckshot at 1.25 oz per shell. The 10-round box is a single unit of fire; the 250-round case contains 25 boxes and is intended for shooters who want to buy in volume and save on per-round cost and storage space.

Is this ammunition suitable for home defense?

S&B 00 buckshot is a traditional defensive load used by law enforcement and armed citizens. However, ammunition selection for self-defense involves legal, safety, and ballistic factors specific to your jurisdiction and situation. We recommend consulting local law, a qualified instructor, or both before finalizing any defensive ammunition choice.
