12 GAUGE FIOCCHI 2-3/4" 9 PELLETS #1 BUCKSHOT (25 ROUNDS)

This American-made Fiocchi Defense Dynamics 12 Gauge shotshell’s most distinguishing feature is what it isn’t. It’s not a 00 buckshot load. It’s a #1 buckshot load – and that can be an enormous help if you’re ever shooting for all the marbles.

This round is loaded with nine 0.30” diameter pellets; around 40.5 grains each. In contrast, a 00 buck pellet is 0.33” diameter; approximately 53.8 grains. To put it a different way, this round’s shot column weighs around 0.25 ounces less than if it were the same quantity of conventional 00 buckshot.

This shell can inflict just as many wound channels as a double-aught load. While it may not transfer as much energy on impact, it’s still more than powerful enough to neutralize a threat. And since its shot column weighs lighter, it generates significantly less recoil as a result. The big payoff to that is less muzzle rise: i.e. the force which jerks the barrel upward on ignition. You’ll have an easier time directing rapid, accurate volleys of shot into your target, which can spell the difference between life and worse during a dangerous scuffle.
