Sellier & Bellot 12-Gauge Rubber Bullets

12-Gauge Rubber Ball Shells

These Sellier & Bellot shells load two 15mm rubber balls into a standard 12-gauge, 2 3/4-inch hull. They are a less-lethal load, meaning they are designed to lower the risk of serious injury compared with lead shot or slugs. They can still injure badly or kill, especially at close range. Shooters buy them for training, deterrence work and law enforcement roles where a full-power load is the wrong tool.

Features

• 12-Gauge, 2 3/4-Inch Shell — The box lists a 67mm (67.5mm) case length, so the shells chamber in any 12-gauge shotgun rated for 2 3/4-inch or longer shells.
• Two 15mm Rubber Balls — Each shell carries a pair of spherical rubber projectiles about 0.59 inch (15mm) across instead of lead pellets.
• Less-Lethal Classification — The rubber payload spreads impact energy more than lead does, though the load remains dangerous and can be lethal at short distances.
• Muzzle Velocity Around 919 FPS — That is feet per second as the balls leave the barrel, a moderate speed for a 12-gauge load.
• Translucent Plastic Hull — The ribbed clear case is printed "Rubber Ball 15 mm" so you can identify the load at a glance and keep it apart from your lethal ammunition.
• Brass-Colored Head — The low base at the rear of the shell holds a centered primer, the small cap that ignites the powder when struck.
• 25 Rounds Per Box — Shells ship in a printed Sellier & Bellot carton labeled with gauge, load and shot size.
• Made By Sellier & Bellot — The Czech manufacturer has produced ammunition since 1825.

Construction and Use

Sellier & Bellot built this load on a conventional 12-gauge platform: a plastic hull, a primed head and two rubber balls stacked in the case. Because it fits a standard 2 3/4-inch chamber, it runs in common pump-action and semi-automatic shotguns, although cycling in a semi-auto can vary with lighter loads. Treat every shell as live ammunition, keep a safe distance from any person or animal, and check your local regulations on less-lethal rounds before use.
