What is the difference between 16 gauge and 12 gauge ammo?

16 gauge and 12 gauge are different shotgun chamberings and their shells are not interchangeable. A 16 gauge shotgun generally uses a smaller-diameter shell and can offer a lighter firearm and payload than many 12 gauge configurations. The 12 gauge has a much broader ammunition selection, while 16 gauge remains popular for upland and bird hunting. Always use the exact gauge and shell length specified for your shotgun.
