Sellier & Bellot 12 Gauge ammunition (brand part no. SB12BSH) loads a 1-1/8 ounce payload of #4 buckshot in a 2-3/4 inch lead shotshell for shooters who want proven buckshot performance from a trusted manufacturer. Sellier & Bellot has produced ammunition since 1825, and this load carries that manufacturing history into a standard-length buckshot shell suited to both home defense and hunting. The #4 buck pellet count gives a denser pattern than larger buckshot sizes, useful for hunting-sized game and defensive applications where more pellets on target matters. In shotgun shells for a pump or semi-auto 12 gauge, this is a dependable buckshot option.
