About #8.5 Shot Ammunition
These loadings feature spherical pellets measuring approximately .085 inches in diameter, providing very high pattern density while maintaining adequate individual pellet energy for close-range applications. The pellets are smaller than #8 shot but larger than #9 shot, offering maximum pellet count with light penetration characteristics. This shot size delivers excellent performance on clay targets and very small birds with extremely dense pattern coverage at shorter ranges. These types of loadings are well-suited for skeet shooting and close-range sporting clays where maximum pattern density and consistent target breaking are prioritized over penetration.Common #8.5 Shot Chamberings

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.
