The Sellier & Bellot 12 Gauge Rubber Ball Shotgun Shell (S&B part no. SB12RBA) is a specialty less-lethal round built around a single solid rubber ball projectile. Sellier & Bellot, a century-old Czech ammunition maker known for precise, consistent manufacturing, loads this shell for close-range deterrent and training use rather than hunting or lethal-force defense. Each 2-3/4 inch shell fires one 17.5mm rubber ball weighing about 1/8 ounce at approximately 886 feet per second, delivering a firm, non-lethal impact at short range. It’s a practical choice for ranchers, farmers, and property owners who need a humane option for deterring nuisance animals without hunting-grade lethality.
