About #3 Shot Ammunition
These loadings feature spherical pellets measuring approximately .14 inches in diameter, providing good individual pellet energy while maintaining adequate pellet count for effective patterns. The pellets are larger than smaller shot sizes like #4 or #6 but smaller than #2 shot, offering solid penetration characteristics while still delivering sufficient pattern density. This shot size provides reliable performance on medium-sized birds and game with good individual pellet effectiveness. These types of loadings are well-suited for waterfowl hunting and larger upland birds where dependable pellet energy and consistent penetration are needed for effective performance.Common #3 Shot Chamberings
- 12 Gauge:Since the mid-1800s, shotgun shells have come in a variety of forms and utilized different types of materials. Common shotgun shell materials have included brass, paper, and plastic. These cartridges feature distinct rims and are of a cylindrical, straight-walled nature. These shells usually feature some form of crimping or sealing to contain the payload they carry. Some loadings such as birdshot and buckshot feature substantial crimping shells while some feature caps or minimal, rolled crimping to contain something like a slug. 12 gauge ammunition can be found in various styles and forms, often tailored towards specific use cases. These types of loadings can come in a variety of lengths such as 2.75,β 3β, and 3.5β shotshell sizes.
