100rds – 12 Gauge Federal Shorty Shotshell 1-3/4" 11/16oz. #4 Buckshot Ammo Details

Federal Shorty Shotshell 12 Gauge ammunition is quite a sight. But this shell’s 1-3/4” length is not a goofy gimmick!

A shell with a relatively lightweight 11/16 ounce shot column and slower 1,200 fps muzzle velocity will still devastate a deer or a threat at close range, but it’s bound to generate less recoil energy than your average 12 Gauge shell as well. That translates to more comfortable target shooting – especially for youngsters – and also reduces muzzle rise while you’re trying to fire quickly yet accurately!

Shorty Shotshell ammo has yet another great advantage: it increases your magazine capacity by over 50 percent! Just take care that many pump-action shotguns require a small adapter device to reliably cycle such unusually short shells.

What is #4 buckshot, exactly? It is a 0.24” diameter lead ball. One pellet of #4 buck only weighs 38 percent as much as a 00 buck pellet. This shell’s 15 shot pellets are therefore comparatively less likely to over-penetrate a threat or punch through multiple layers of wallboard.
