Description
The Sellier & Bellot SB20BSA brings proven Czech engineering to your shotgun cabinet. Loaded with a 1-ounce charge of hard, spherical #2 buck pellets, these shells deliver what matters: tight patterns downrange and dependable function every single time you pull the trigger.
What Makes This Sellier & Bellot Load Stand Out
Twelve pellets per round gives you more coverage than larger buckshot while maintaining effective penetration. That density is exactly what you want at typical engagement distances, whether you're working with a compact shotgun or training with something more forgiving on recoil. The plastic hull holds up well through repeated reloads if you're into that, and the clear cap keeps everything seated until the moment it matters.
The Build Quality You Expect From S&B
Sellier & Bellot has been making ammunition since 1825, and it shows. Every shell gets an even-patterning wad and non-corrosive primer to keep your action clean. The powder burns consistently and leaves minimal residue inside your gun, which means less time cleaning and more time at the range or in the field. These shells have earned respect from people who actually depend on their gear.
Why 20 Gauge Buckshot Works
Not everyone needs or wants the recoil of a 12 gauge buckshot load. The 20 gauge gives you multiple projectiles per shot while staying pleasant to shoot, making it practical for longer practice sessions and quicker follow-up shots. With #2 buck specifically, you get better pattern density than larger shot sizes, which translates to more reliable hits.

Frequently Asked Questions
What's the difference between #2 buck and larger buckshot?
#2 buck pellets are smaller than #00 or #000, which allows twelve pellets to fit in a standard shell instead of fewer, larger pellets. This creates a denser spread pattern that covers more area while still maintaining plenty of stopping power. For 20 gauge shotguns especially, #2 buck offers a practical balance of coverage and penetration.
Will these shells cycle reliably in my shotgun?
Yes, Sellier & Bellot loads these to consistent specifications with non-corrosive primers and quality components. The shells are factory-tested, and users regularly report flawless cycling in modern semi-automatic and pump shotguns. As with any ammunition, always verify that your specific shotgun can handle 2 3/4 inch shells before purchasing.
Is the 20 gauge effective for hunting or defense?
20 gauge buckshot is effective at typical close to moderate distances where shot spread matters. The twelve #2 pellets deliver reliable coverage and penetration for small game and many hunting applications. It's also used for home defense training because the manageable recoil lets shooters stay on target better than larger gauges.
