12 gauge shotgun shells types

What is the most powerful 12-gauge shotgun shell?
The Black Magic^® Magnum (12 GA 3”) is one of the most powerful cartridges available on the market.
It offers tremendous knockdown power up to 100/60 yards.
The Black Magic^® Magnum is your live insurance against big and/or dangerous game.
What are the three types of shotgun ammo?
Birdshot, buckshot, and slugs are three distinct types of shotgun shells that each serve specific purposes:
Birdshot is perfect for shooting small game like birds or clay targets. Buckshot is great for larger game or self-defense. Slugs consist of a single large projectile.
Each gauge of shotgun shoots only shells of the same gauge.
For example, 12-gauge guns use only 12-gauge shells.
The gauge of a shotgun is usually marked on the rear of the barrel, and the gauge of a shell is marked on the shell as well as on the factory box.

What are the different 12-gauge shotgun shells?

Today's 12-gauge shells come in 2½-, 2¾-, 3- and 3½-inch lengths (and they all hold different amounts of powder and shot charges).
If your shotgun is marked “12-gauge 2¾-inch” you may safely fire 2½- and 2¾-inch 12-gauge shotshells, but not the 3- or 3½-inch.
