When loaded with number 4 buckshot the 12 gauge shotgun has a practical maximum effective range?
When loaded with number 4 buckshot, the 12-gauge shotgun has a practical maximum effective range of approximately 25 to 50 yards. Beyond this distance, the spread of the shot and the reduced energy make it less effective for reliable hits on target. While it can still be used at longer ranges, accuracy and stopping power diminish significantly. This makes it well-suited for close to mid-range applications, particularly in self-defense or hunting scenarios.

The maximum range for the Mossberg 500 is 55 yds for shot (the Navy uses 00 buckshot), and 328 yds for rifled slugs. However, the effective ranges are about 44 yds for both, though of course slugs will do a lot more damage.
