About #12 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 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.
- .22 WMR:The .22 Winchester Magnum Rimfire, or .22 WMR, was introduced by Winchester in 1959. This rimfire cartridge is known for its higher velocity and greater energy compared to other .22 caliber rounds, making it popular for hunting small game and varmints, as well as for target shooting and plinking.The cartridge is also well-suited for use in a variety of firearms, especially those of the semi-automatic variety. The .22 WMR’s flat trajectory and other desirable qualities combined with its overall versatility have contributed to its lasting popularity among shooters.
