Shotgun ammunition in 12, 20 and 28 gauge and .410 — target loads, game loads, steel and heavier field shot.
Shot size does most of the work. Trap and skeet suit 7.5 and 8 shot in a light target load, which keeps recoil manageable across a long card. Sporting clays often wants 7.5 for the longer presentations. In the field, 6 and 7.5 cover quail and rabbit, while 4 and larger suit ducks and bigger game where legal.
Two things worth checking before you buy. Non-toxic shot is mandatory for waterfowl in most jurisdictions, so confirm your state's requirement. And steel behaves differently to lead: it does not deform, so it should not be fired through tight chokes in guns not proofed for it. Check your barrel's proof marks and your choke maker's guidance.
Ammunition is collection only from our Roseville Chase store. We do not ship ammunition of any kind. Bring a current firearms licence.

Common questions
Do I need a licence to buy shotgun ammunition in NSW?
Yes. Under the NSW Firearms Act a dealer can only sell ammunition to someone who holds a licence or permit for a firearm that takes that ammunition, so you need a licence covering shotguns (Category A or higher) and must show it at the counter.
Can I order shotgun ammunition online for delivery?
No. Magnum Sports sells shotgun cartridges in store only at Roseville Chase in Sydney; we do not post ammunition.
What shotgun cartridge should I use for clay targets?
A 28 gram 12 gauge load of #7.5 or #8 shot at 1,200 to 1,350 fps, such as Winchester Super Target, Trust Trap or Eley Olympic Blues. Skeet shooters often use #9; trap shooters use #7.5. Buy by the slab of 250 for the best price.
What shotgun load is best for pigs, foxes or ducks?
Foxes and rabbits: 32 to 36 gram #4 or BB. Ducks: non-toxic steel or bismuth loads are required for waterfowl in most states, so check your state rules. Pigs and goats inside 40 metres: SG or 00 buckshot, or a rifled slug where legal for the hunt.
Which gauges do you stock?
Mostly 12 gauge, with a range of 20 gauge and .410 field and target loads and some 28 gauge. If your load is not on the shelf we can order it from Winchester Australia, Fiocchi or the Trust importer, usually within a week.
