A: The shell length for this Tunet Universelle 12 Gauge ammunition is 2-3/4 inches.

Q: How much shot does each shell contain?

A: Each shell contains 1 oz of #7.5 shot.

Q: Is this ammunition suitable for home defense?

A: While it can be used in an emergency, #7.5 shot is generally not recommended for home defense. It lacks the penetration and stopping power of larger shot sizes or slugs that are more suitable for self-defense situations.

Q: What is the effective range of this ammunition?

A: The effective range of 12 gauge #7.5 shot is typically around 35-40 yards for clay target shooting and small game hunting. Beyond this range, the pattern becomes too spread out for reliable hits.

Q: Can this ammunition be safely used in older shotguns?

Q: Is this ammunition lead-free?

A: No, this ammunition is not lead-free. The #7.5 shot is typically made of lead. For lead-free options, look for steel, bismuth, or tungsten-based shot.

Q: What is the recommended choke for use with this ammunition?

A: For clay target shooting with #7.5 shot, improved cylinder or modified chokes are often preferred. For hunting, modified or full chokes might be used depending on the range and game being hunted.

Q: Is this ammunition corrosive?
