The suitability of using different types of shotgun shells for defence against low, slow and small (LSS) UAVs (Unmanned Aerial Vehicle) is investigated in this article. The basic criterion for assessing the effectiveness of shotgun fire is the hit probability and the effec...
Shotgun shells come in all different lengths. The way you measure the length of a shell is by measuring the length of the spent hull. With shell length, you use inches to measure it instead of millimeters like you would with the bore’s diameter. However, some shells that come out of ...
Since 00 buck pellets are larger than #1, you'll find shells don't hold as many pellets. Most commonly, 12 gauge shells contain nine 00 pellets. Despite the pellets being larger, ballistic gel tests show that 00 buck does less overall damage than #1 due to the fewer number of pellets. ...

Porting is becoming extremly popular with dove hunters who normally shoot a lot of shells in a short time frame. It is also popular with waterfowler's who shoot heavy recoiling loads. Typically recoil is reduced by 30%. I use a pattern very similar to Browning's . All barrels are set-...
Concocting shotshells, special made for home defense that fire those extreme loads at blistering velocity seems really cool at the dump when you turn an old washer inside out, but in court, it’ll take on a whole different conotation. Actually this advice applies to any firearm. We were ...
