Sellier and Bellot 12-gauge Rubber Ball Slugs

12-Gauge Rubber Ball Load

This Sellier & Bellot shell fires one 17.5mm rubber sphere from a 12-gauge shotgun in place of lead shot or a lead slug. A slug is a single projectile rather than a spread of pellets. Sellier & Bellot sells it in its Special Shotgun Shell line, for shooters who want a rubber projectile instead of standard hunting or target loads. Each box holds 25 rounds.

Features

• 12-Gauge Chambering — Built for 12-gauge shotguns, the most common shotgun bore size in the US.
• Single Rubber Sphere — The box lists the load as one ball, so each shell fires a single round rubber projectile instead of a cluster of pellets.
• 17.5mm Projectile — The ball measures 17.5mm (about 0.69 in), a figure printed on both the box and the hull.
• Clear Ribbed Hull — The translucent plastic case is marked "Rubber Ball 17.5 mm" so you can tell it apart from lead loads at a glance.
• Brass-Colored Head — A metal base surrounds the primer, as on a conventional shotshell.
• Special Shotgun Shell Line — Part of the Sellier & Bellot range set aside for non-standard loads.
• Box Of 25 — Packed 25 cartridges to a box.

Compatibility And Safe Use

Check that your shotgun is chambered for 12 gauge and that the shell length printed on the box matches your chamber before loading. A rubber projectile hits with less penetration than lead, but it can still cause serious injury and should be handled with the same care as any live round. Follow local laws on owning and using this kind of ammunition.
