How to Buy Buckshot in Bulk

Hunter

Buying bulk buckshot must be planned because most stores only carry five-round boxes of buckshot. It can get pretty expensive buying multiple boxes. While some superstores may carry larger rounds per box, it is best to check area gun shows or look online to order.

Limited Availability

Handgun

Buckshot for handguns can be very specialized, so it is best to buy from a company that carries that kind of ammunition. Some companies sell 100-round packs.

Types

Buckshot cartridges

Some companies produce rounds that have see-through casings so law enforcement can see that it is buckshot. Cartridges sized 2 3/4 inches to 3 inches can be purchased in 100- to 250-round packages.

Considerations

Buying shot that patterns well is usually ideal, but cheaper is sometimes better depending on what the intended use. To be safe, try the shot in your gun before buying in bulk to see how it works.
