Overview of Stars and Stripes Ammo
Stars and Stripes is a value-priced line of imported shotgun shells. We carry their 12 gauge defense, slug, and steel shot waterfowl loads in 250-round cases.
Steel shot is required for waterfowl hunting in the U.S. Steel loads like these 3 inch shells need a gun chambered for 3 inch shells, and a choke rated for steel. Shop our full 12 gauge ammo selection for more options.

Frequently Asked Questions
Which Stars and Stripes steel shot size should I use?
Larger shot like BB is common for geese, while #3 is a popular duck load. #1 sits in between for mixed bags. Pattern your shotgun with your choke before the season.
Can I shoot 3 inch Stars and Stripes shells in my shotgun?
Only if your shotgun is chambered for 3 inch shells. Never fire a shell longer than your chamber. A 3 inch chamber can also fire 2-3/4 inch shells, like the Stars and Stripes 00 buckshot.
Is Stars and Stripes 00 buckshot good for home defense?
00 buckshot is the most common 12 gauge home defense load, and the 9-pellet Stars and Stripes load is a value-priced option. Pattern it in your shotgun at home defense distances before relying on it.
More About Stars and Stripes Ammo
Stars and Stripes shells focus on the loads shotgun owners use most: target, steel waterfowl, buckshot, and slugs. Their 250-round cases make them an affordable way to stock up for a season.
Because they are priced as a value line, Stars and Stripes loads are a practical choice for high-volume practice and for hunters who burn through shells on waterfowl days. As with any shotgun load, check how it patterns in your gun before you hunt or rely on it.
