Shotgun cartridges: expert reviews, buying advice and ammunition guides

Few decisions affect your shooting more than the cartridge in your gun. Sporting Gun’s cartridge hub brings you independent reviews, practical buying advice and in-depth analysis of ammunition across every shooting discipline – from driven game and walked-up days to clay grounds and rough shooting.

Our experienced team tests cartridges across the full spectrum: lead and steel shot, bismuth and non-toxic alternatives, budget options for high-volume clay shooters and premium loads for those days when performance really counts. We assess pattern, recoil, consistency and value, giving you the information you need to match the right cartridge to your gun, your quarry and your ground.

With non-toxic shot regulations continuing to evolve across the UK, we also keep you up to date on compliance, legal requirements and the best performing alternatives to lead as the transition gathers pace.

From 28-gram sporting loads to 36-gram magnums – we’ve got you covered.
