A 12-gauge shotgun shell typically contains multiple pellets, which are small, round projectiles inside the shell. The number of pellets in a 12-gauge 3" shell can vary depending on the specific type of shot being used, such as birdshot or buckshot. As a general guideline, a standard 12-gauge 3" shell with birdshot may contain around 1-1/8 to 1-1/4 ounces of shot, which can translate to roughly 200 to 300 pellets. For buckshot, there are typically fewer but larger pellets, with a 12-gauge 3" shell commonly holding around 8 to 15 pellets.

How is shotgun gauge measured?
A shotguns gauge is a measure related to the diameter of the smooth shotgun bore and the size of the shotshell designed for that bore. Gauge or diameter of the bore is determined by the diameter of 1 lead pellet times the number of pellets required to equal 1 pound. ex. 12 gauge is equal to the diameter of 1 of the 12 lead balls that equals 1 pound. ex. 20 gauge is equal to the diameter of 1 of 20 lead balls that equals 1 pound. ex. 3 gauge is equal to the diameter of 1 of the 3 lead balls that equals one pound. The larger number of gauge the smaller the bore.
