A good start is looking at the markings on the barrel, which should indicate the gauge and length of shell. If it says 12 gauge, 2 3/4 inch, then stick with the factory loaded shells in that gauge and length. Your gun was designed and test fired around those shells. An exception to that rule would be a very old shotgun, made in 1900 or earlier. Those may have been intended for BLACK POWDER shells, and should not be fired with modern ammunition. If a gunsmith examines your gun, and finds it safe to shoot, then black powder shotshells are available by special order.
