The 12g Round is a loose shotgun shell. It is the ammunition for the shotguns: the JS-2000 Shotgun, the Sawed-off JS-2000 Shotgun, the Double Barrel Shotgun, the Sawed-off Double Barrel Shotgun and the JS-3T Tactical Shotgun. It is also the heaviest loose round, so a big supply adds real weight.
Loose 12g Rounds come from opening a Box of 12g Rounds. One box holds 25 shells. The shells can be packed back into a box for storage. The Veteran is the best occupation for ammo. It starts with the most Reloading skill. The Police Officer also starts with some Reloading skill.
Uses
Besides loading shotguns, the 12g Round has two other uses. The Pack Ammo in Box recipe turns 25 loose shells back into one Box of 12g Rounds. A full box keeps a stockpile tidy in a container. The Gather Gunpowder recipe breaks shells down into Gunpowder. That powder goes into the Pipe Bomb and the crafted Firecracker.

Locations
Loose 12g Rounds turn up in two kinds of places. Hidden shotgun caches always hold them, under a floor plank stash or on a counter. A duffel bag in those caches holds them about one time in three. Loose shells also come off zombies. Zombies dressed as private militia carry them most often, followed by hunters. Ranger zombies carry them now and then. A militia zombie carries shells a little more than one time in eight.
The places where it spawns, with the rough chance per container. Each tab shows one kind of place.

| Shotgun cache1 | Plank stash | 100% |
| Shotgun cache2 | Counter | 100% |
| Shotgun cache1 | Bag duffel bag tint | 33.3% |
| Location | Container | Chance |
|---|---|---|
| Any building | Zombie wearing a private militia outfit | 13% |
| Any building | Zombie wearing a hunter outfit | 10.8% |
| Any building | Zombie wearing a ranger outfit | 4.1% |
Notes
- One stock of shells feeds all the shotguns, so a shotgun found later can use it.
- Shotguns load the shells by hand, one at a time, into the gun itself.
- A box of 12g Rounds holds 25 shells, between the 20 of a rifle box and the 50 of a pistol box.
- The shell is a lead shot load, the common round for a pump or a double barrel shotgun.
