Shot and Slug
Hull, primer, powder, shot, shot cup or shot wads.
Generally "Pellets" or "Shot" contained in "Shells". There are also solid shot "Slugs" similarly contained in "Shells". I'd use Shells ie "8 shotgun shells", unless you are specifying exactly the type.
should be 8 shot NOT B (the letter) shot
Any gun store sells it. Commonly shotgun shells #8 or #9 shot.
Shotgun shells - They are loaded with different sizes of shot depending upon what you are hunting. Bird shot, buck shot or even a single slug.
The letters BB indicate the size of the shot that is in the shotgun shell.This is telling you that your shot size in the shell is the same size as used in BB guns.
The shell size is normally stamped on the barrel near the reciever. Shells have been made in many sizes over the years ranging from inch & a half mini shells up to three & a half inch magnums. If you cant find a size marked on the shotgun you should have a gunsmith inspect the gun to determine proper size. A shotgun that old cannot fire steel shot. The barrel steel is too soft and will be ruined by steel shot.
Buckshot is a large lead shot for shotgun shells (especially used in hunting big game).
A birdshot is a small lead shot, or ammunition, used in shotgun shells, or a rifle or pistol cartridge containing small shot instead of a single projectile.
Shotguns fire shells with many small pellets- or shot. The shot string is a 3 dimensional view of the shot in flight. When bird hunting with a shotgun, your goal is to have the shot string intersect the bird in flight.
This shotgun needs to be examined by a gunsmith.
