Shotgun Self-Defense Ammo
About Self-Defense Shotgun Ammunition
Like the name suggests, ammunition of this type is intended to be used for self-defense. Naturally, these loadings feature projectiles and traits which are optimal for defensive purposes. Self-defense rifle ammo is found in 12 gauge and 20 gauge form in addition to other shotgun chamberings. Ammo of this type is available in a wide range of shot sizes, projectile types, velocities, and other styles which cater to various types of shooters. This is to say that there are range rifle ammo offerings which are suitable for various purposes at the range.Types of Self-Defense Rifle Ammo Loadings
- Buckshot:These loadings feature multiple large projectiles. These projectiles are considerably larger than the projectiles found in birdshot and target loadings. For example, a 00 buckshot loading will feature 8 pellets which are about .33” in diameter. There are also some buckshot loadings which feature more projectiles and utilize smaller projectiles. These types of loadings are well-suited for hunting use and for self-defense.
- Slugs:These types of loadings feature single, solid projectiles rather than multiple projectiles. As these loadings feature solid projectiles, one does not have to consider a potential pattern or spread of multiple projectiles. Slugs are often found in the form of rifled and sabot loadings. Rifled slugs are intended for use in smoothbore barrels while sabot slugs are intended for use in rifled barrels. Ultimately, slugs allow a user to extend the effective range of their shotgun.
