Sellier & Bellot is a well-known ammunition manufacturer that produces a variety of cartridges for handguns, rifles, and shotguns. Designed for use in a 12 gauge shotgun and contains 2 3/4" shells loaded with 12 pellets of #1 buckshot.
#1 buckshot is a popular load for self-defense and law enforcement use, as it delivers a good balance of penetration and stopping power. It is larger than standard birdshot, but smaller than 00 buckshot, which makes it effective for close to medium range engagements.

12 gauge is the most popular and useful shotgun gauges ever made. Suitable for everything from doves to geese. With sporting, military and law enforcement applications. Available in 2 ¾”, 3” and 3 ½”. The magnum lengths are generally preferred for waterfowl and turkey. Most major manufacturers produce guns and ammunition in a very wide septum for 12 gauge. Loads from ¾ oz. to 2 oz. are common with 1 1/8 oz Low base and 1 ¼ oz being the most common loadings. Target loads are normally around 1150 to 1200 FPS with High velocity lead loads tuning up 1350 FPS. Steel waterfowl loads tend to be loaded faster around 1500 FPS to compensate lower density shot. While the 2 ¾” loading is still the most popular ammunition made, nearly all current production guns have 3”or 3 ½” chambers. The shorter ammunition can be safely fired in longer chambers, but not all magnum semiautomatics will function with shorter shotshells. — Craig Boddington
