5 Rounds of 00 Buck 12ga Ammo by Federal Law Enforcement

Federal Premium of Minnesota designs this 12 Gauge ammunition for law enforcement applications, but it is also available to the civilian market. If you’re looking for just enough shells to fill a home defense shotgun’s five-round magazine, then this box of 12ga ammo is assuredly one of your very best options.

This shotshell is loaded with nine pellets of 00 buckshot, each of which exits the barrel at a rate of 1,325 feet per second. All together, the shot pellets will strike a close-range target with over 1,800 ft lbs of combined energy – approximately six times the minimum typically advised for personal protection.

Where this shell really shines is its pattern density, because it is equipped with Federal’s FliteControl wad. The FliteControl erects air flaps around its base the instant it exits the muzzle, thus ensuring the shot pellets flow nice and evenly downrange. More pellets on target are always a good thing when said target means to do you immediate bodily harm.

These shells are optimized for reliable performance courtesy of their uniform noncorrosive primers and charges of clean-burning powder, and their heads and hulls both match those explosive components’ consistency.
