At Golden Brothers Co, we carry the full spectrum of shotgun ammunition: birdshot for upland birds and sporting clays, buckshot for home defense and big game, and slugs for dense woods hunting or when a single accurate shot is what the situation demands.

We stock 12 gauge, 20 gauge, and .410 bore from Winchester, Federal, Fiocchi, Hornady, and other trusted manufacturers.

Shotgun Ammo Types

Birdshot - Multiple small pellets in a spreading pattern. Used for upland birds (pheasant, quail, turkey), waterfowl, and sporting clays. Shot sizes range from #9 (small, close range) to #2 (larger, waterfowl).

Buckshot - Larger pellets delivering serious stopping power. 00 Buckshot (nine .33-caliber pellets) is the standard for home defense and deer hunting in brushy terrain.

Slugs - A single large projectile for maximum accuracy at longer distances. Rifled slugs and sabot slugs are used for deer hunting in slug-only zones and for situations requiring precise shot placement.
