Thread: 12ga ammo for idjits

36gram 2 3/4 #4 shot
36 grams is the lead weight, 2 3/4 is the length and #4 shot bieng the size
#4s are good for most things, and 2 3/4 are usually the cheepest
3 inch and beyond are for long range shooting of geese and things and cost is quite a bit higher

check what your gun is chambered for, usually its printed on the side of the chamber or on the barrel somewhere and check you have a half choke or less before shooting steel
also if its a real old girl then get it checked to see if it can take hi pressure modern ammo
