Keeping Traditions Alive Since 1953

Sellier & Bellot has been building ammunition since 1825, and their shotshell line reflects that long track record of reliability. This 12-gauge load packs nine lead pellets of 00 buckshot into a 2-3/4" case, firing at 1,214 fps with about 1,611 foot-pounds of muzzle energy. That breaks down to roughly 179 foot-pounds per pellet, which gives you meaningful stopping power without excessive overkill.
The 9-pellet configuration is the industry standard for a reason. It strikes a balance between pellet density and the control you need for accurate follow-up shots. Each pellet measures 0.33" in diameter and uses unplated lead, which means harder than some cheaper alternatives but softer than premium copper-plated options. You'll notice the shells come in a clear plastic hull so you can see what's inside the box, and they use a roll crimp rather than a star crimp, which is typical of Czech ammunition manufacturing.
This ammunition feeds reliably through Remington 870s, Benelli shotguns, Mossberg pump guns, and most standard 12-gauge platforms. The full dram equivalent rating puts it in the sweet spot for cycling most semi-auto designs without the punishing recoil of magnum loads. Pattern testing shows decent grouping at practical ranges, and velocity stays consistent round to round.
One thing to know: because of the roll-crimped hull design, these shells run slightly longer than traditional star-crimped 2-3/4" rounds. Your shotgun will handle them without issue, but tube-fed guns might hold one fewer round in the magazine than you'd expect with standard shells from other manufacturers.
These shells are loaded to a full 3 dram equivalent, which puts them in the right ballpark for cycling most modern semi-auto designs. Common models like the Benelli M4, Mossberg 930, and similar platforms handle them without issue. However, some older or particularly finicky semi-autos might need testing to confirm reliable cycling.
The 9-pellet 2-3/4" load is the industry standard for practical shotgun use. It balances effective stopping power with controllable recoil and accurate follow-up shots. While some specialty loads offer 12 or 15 pellets, they're heavier to shoot and magazine capacity actually goes down because the shells physically won't fit as many.
Sellier & Bellot uses unplated hard lead instead of copper-plated shot, and the shells employ traditional felt wads rather than advanced polymer designs like FliteControl. This means patterns are good but not laser-tight at distance. For range work and defensive distances, the performance is solid and the cost is significantly lower than premium alternatives.
Sellier & Bellot uses a roll crimp instead of a star crimp, which is standard European manufacturing. The shells are safe for any 2-3/4" chamber, but because of the design, tube-fed shotguns typically hold one fewer round than with standard crimped shells from other brands.
