About #12 Bird Shot Ammunition

These loadings feature extremely small spherical pellets measuring approximately .05 inches in diameter, providing maximum pellet count per shell for very dense patterns at close ranges. The pellets are among the smallest shot sizes available, offering minimal individual pellet energy but creating exceptionally dense patterns for close-range applications. This shot size is primarily used in specialized applications where maximum pattern density and minimal penetration are desired. These types of loadings are well-suited for pest control, snake loads, and close-range situations where shot dispersion is more important than individual pellet energy.

Common #12 Bird Shot Chamberings

  • .22 LR:Arguably one of the most popular calibers in existence, the .22 Long Rifle made its debut in 1887. Introduced a year after the introduction of viable smokeless powder, the .22 Long Rifle quickly took advantage of the benefits of the newer type of propellant. While .22 Short and .22 Long loadings initially used black powder, the smokeless powder utilized by firearms after 1886 made for a more efficient and effective propellant. In a departure from the .22 Long, the .22 Long Rifle is able to reliably function in semi-automatic firearms. Semi-automatic pistols and rifles in .22 Long Rifle are some of the most common firearms owned by shooters in the United States. A firearm in .22 Long Rifle is a “first gun” for many new shooters and is an excellent caliber to learn with.
