250 Rounds of 00 Buck 12ga Ammo by Fiocchi

"The police cannot protect the citizen at this stage of our development, and they cannot even protect themselves in many cases. It is up to the private citizen to protect himself and his family, and this is not only acceptable, but mandatory."
– Lt. Col. Jeff Cooper

Does your plan to protect yourself and your family include a 12 Gauge shotgun? Good. We aren’t certain precisely which shotshell the great Lt. Col. Jeff Cooper would have recommended, but it’s safe to say he wouldn’t have negative things to say about 00 buckshot.

This 12ga shell by Fiocchi is loaded with eight beads of double-aught. That’s about 1 ounce total, which is a bit lighter than the heaviest load you could probably find if you kept looking around. That serves to offset the shell’s quite brisk 1,325 fps muzzle velocity, which is sufficient to deliver over 1,500 ft lbs of kinetic energy into a target at close range.

Fiocchi makes this ammo’s shot pellets out of chilled lead. It’s hard enough to withstand rapid acceleration without undergoing significant deformation, which helps the pellets pattern in a more efficient and effective pattern. Hard lead also has the fortitude to penetrate deeply, which spells even greater trouble for the threat.

Smooth cycling. Clean igniting. Made in the United States of America.
