250rds – 12 Gauge Federal 2-3/4" 16 Pellet #1 Buckshot Ammo Details

People who hunt with 00 buckshot? They’re zeroes! But those who choose smaller #1 buck? They’re number one!

We’re just kidding, of course. Every hunter is diamonds in our book. But those who avail themselves of Federal Premium’s premium 12 Gauge #1 buck hunting ammo? They’re all aces.

At 30/100” in diameter, #1 buck is two sizes down from 00 buck (33/100”). It is lighter (40.5 vs 58.3 grains), and therefore hits its target with less energy at the same impact velocity. BUT … that comes with a key advantage. This shell’s hull fits twice as much buckshot into its hull than an eight-pellet double-aught load, and can put as many wound channels into its target because of it!

Federal wants you to put lots of holes in your trophy. Deep ones. That’s why the #1 buck is plated in copper: a metal which hardens it, thus keeping it rounder while ignition and impact attempt to deform it. The shot column’s granulated buffering keeps it rounder throughout ignition as well. The rewards for these clever touches are narrower patterning, increased velocity retention, higher striking power, and the deep-tunneling penetration that drastically lowers the quarry’s odds of survival.

Five rounds per box; fifty boxes per case!
