About #1 Buckshot Ammunition

These loadings feature twelve to sixteen .30 cal diameter lead pellets per shell in 12-gauge configurations. The pellets are smaller than 00 buckshot but larger than birdshot, providing a balance between pellet count and individual pellet energy. This size offers more projectiles than 00 buckshot while maintaining adequate penetration for defensive applications. These types of loadings are well-suited for home defense and hunting medium-sized game where increased pellet count and moderate penetration are desired.

Common #1 Buckshot 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,” 3”, and 3.5” shotshell sizes. Naturally, the larger shells feature larger payloads and generally yield a more significant recoil impulse.
  • 20 Gauge:The 20 gauge is a popular mid-sized shotgun gauge known for its balance of power and reduced recoil compared to larger gauges. Introduced in the early 20th century, the 20 gauge provides excellent performance while being more manageable for smaller-framed shooters and youth. The 20 gauge is highly regarded for upland hunting and recreational shooting due to its moderate recoil, good ballistic performance, and effectiveness on small to medium game birds.
