Sellier & Bellot has been in the ammunition business since 1825, and their 12-gauge buckshot loads carry that legacy of quality and dependability. Made in the Czech Republic with careful attention to manufacturing standards, these shells load 12 pellets of 0.33-inch diameter 00 buck into a plastic hull and deliver consistent performance at a fair price point.
The 12-pellet count gives these shells an edge over standard 9-pellet loads, increasing your hit probability on target without pushing you to magnum pressures. Running at 1180 FPS, this load sits in the practical middle ground for buckshot hunting and sport shooting. The plastic hull keeps things uniform from round to round, and each box of 25 makes it easy to manage inventory whether you're stocking up for a season or grabbing shells for range days.
These shells use boxer primers and come loaded with hard lead pellets that resist deformation during firing. That matters for pattern density because flattened pellets don't fly as true. The felt wad design is straightforward and proven to work well across most shotguns, though as with any buckshot, your individual barrel and choke will determine how these pattern for you. Many users report feeding reliably in everything from Remington 870s to modern semi-autos, though it's always worth testing your specific shotgun before hunting season.
What stands out most about Sellier & Bellot's approach is delivering quality ammunition at a price that doesn't require you to choose between performance and your wallet. These aren't premium plated pellets or advanced wad systems, but for the application, the basics work well. The shells are non-corrosive and reloadable if you want to recycle them, and they pack enough punch for medium game and sport shooting at distances where buckshot makes sense.
The extra three pellets increase your overall hit probability on target while keeping recoil manageable in a 2 3/4 inch shell. This wider spread also helps when patterning for hunting since you have more projectiles working across the target area. The tradeoff is slightly wider patterns at distance compared to some premium, buffered loads.
These loads have a proven track record feeding through pump, semi-auto, and break-action shotguns including the popular Remington 870. That said, different shotguns can be finicky with specific loads, so it's worth shooting a test box before committing to hunting with them. Some users have noted these run slightly longer than average 2 3/4 inch shells, which occasionally affects magazine capacity in tightly-spaced designs.
Yes, 00 buckshot at 1180 FPS is effective for medium game like deer within practical buckshot range. The 12-pellet count gives you more opportunity for solid hits. Keep shots to 40 yards or less and practice patterning your specific shotgun first, as barrel and choke combinations vary and will determine your actual performance on game.
Yes, Sellier & Bellot shells are boxer primed and reloadable. However, the felt wads and bulkier powder charge design may require you to research compatible reloading components before proceeding, as not all standard wads seat properly in S&B hulls.
