What is the difference between 12 gauge buckshot, birdshot, and slugs?

Buckshot, birdshot, and slugs are different types of 12 gauge shotgun ammunition. Birdshot contains numerous small pellets and is commonly used for birds, clay targets, and small game. Buckshot uses fewer, larger pellets and is commonly selected for larger game and defensive applications. A shotgun slug uses a single projectile rather than multiple pellets and is commonly used where greater projectile mass and extended effective range are desired. Always select ammunition appropriate for your shotgun and intended application.
