Hi Brian, being a pump action, this will cycle any 2.75" or 3" shells you run through it. Any birdshot, buckshot, or rifled (foster) slugs will work. Stay safe & have a great day!

Hi Brian and welcome. For self-defense, #4 buckshot is recommended for plenty of stopping power and less chance of over penetration to hit loved ones or neighbors: https://www.budsgunshop.com/product_info.php/products_id/65661/federal+12+ga.+2+3+4+27+pel.+4+lead+buckshot

The much asked question here in the Q&A, "What's the Best Ammo", is very subjective.
This model is chambered for 3" shells so both 2-3/4" & 3" shells will cycle and fire. You Also can get yourself the Opsol mini shell adapter to cycle/shoot 1-3/4" shells.

Depending on the intended use, you can load in Birdshot, Buckshot (Home Defense) or Rifled Slugs. Plenty to chose from here at Buds.
