5 Rounds of 00 Buck 12ga Ammo by Federal Vital-Shok

The deer never had a chance – because you ordered the Federal Vital-Shok 12 Gauge shotgun ammunition.

This is a standard length 2-3/4” shotshell, loaded with nine pellets of 00 buckshot. It launches that 1-1/8 ounce barrage of shot at a velocity of 1,325 fps, which puts the shot pellets’ collective muzzle energy at 1,919 ft lbs. So powerful a shell won’t just anchor a whitetail or blacktail, of course. Any hog or predator will meet its maker if you plow just half of this shell’s shot into its chest cavity.

This shell’s shot pellets have a secret weapon: copper plating. Copper hardens the lead pellets enough to dramatically reduce deformation in the barrel, which promotes a narrower and deadlier pattern. Copper further reduces deformation during penetration, thus assuring deep enough wound channels to reach a larger critter’s sensitive vital organs. “Vital-Shok” – a fitting name, yes?

This shell has yet another trick up its sleeve: granulated buffering. It absorbs shock during ignition to even further protect the already deformation-resistant shot pellets from flattening down and becoming less aerodynamic. Just one more reason why this Minnesota-made shell’s double-aught spreads so tightly and hits so hard!
