Sellier & Bellot has been loading shotshells since 1825, and this 3-inch magnum 00 buckshot round shows why the brand still has a following among hunters and shotgun owners who want a heavier hitting load without stepping up to a specialty defense round. Each shell stuffs 15 pellets of #00 buck into a 1-7/8 ounce payload, giving you more pellets on target compared to a standard 2-3/4 inch load, which matters when you're working with a shotgun's spread pattern at typical hunting or defensive distances.
The pellets themselves are hard lead, which helps them hold their shape both during setback in the barrel and on impact, so you get a tighter pattern and better penetration than softer shot tends to deliver. A felt wad sits behind the payload instead of a plastic shot cup, a more traditional approach that still gets the job done and has a long track record in Sellier & Bellot's shotshell lineup. The hulls are boxer primed, non-corrosive, and reloadable, so if you load your own shells this brass gives you a head start.
Owners running this load through pump guns, semi-autos, and break-actions alike report smooth cycling and consistent function, which is reassuring if you're loading up a defensive gun or a deer gun that needs to go bang every time. Because these are 3-inch magnum shells, double check your shotgun is chambered for 3-inch loads before running a full case through it, since 2-3/4 inch chambers aren't built to handle the longer hull safely.
Whether you're headed out for deer or hogs in brushy country where a slug isn't practical, or you keep a shotgun loaded up for home defense, this 00 buck load gives you a proven pellet size with a full magnum charge behind it. The 10-round box is a practical size for topping off a magazine tube or tucking a box in a range bag without committing to a full case right away.
The extra 1/4 inch of hull length lets Sellier & Bellot pack more pellets and a heavier payload into each shell, in this case 15 pellets versus the 8 or 9 you'd typically find in a 2-3/4 inch load. That translates to more pellets on target and generally more felt recoil, so make sure your shotgun is chambered for 3-inch shells before loading these up.
Owners running this load through semi-autos, pumps, and break-action guns generally report smooth, reliable cycling with no functional issues. As with any ammo, it's worth patterning a few rounds through your specific shotgun before relying on it, since every gun has its own preferences.
This load works well for both. The 15-pellet, 1-7/8 ounce payload gives hunters a solid option for deer or hogs in brush country where a slug isn't ideal, while the same knockdown power and pattern density make it a practical choice for a home defense shotgun.
Yes, these shells use boxer primers and non-corrosive components, which makes the hulls reloadable for anyone set up to load their own shotshells. Just inspect the brass and hull after firing to make sure everything is in good shape before reloading.
