5rds – 12 Gauge Barnes Defense 3" 15 Pellet 00 Buckshot Ammo

5rds – 12 Gauge Barnes Defense 3" 15 Pellet 00 Buckshot Ammo Details

Not all 12 Gauge shotshells are created equal. Some are designed for clay shooting. Others are meant to knock geese out of orbit. But Barnes’ Defense Buckshot label shotshells? They’re created so you have the power you need to neutralize the threat – pronto.

To say that this shotshell is powerful is an understatement. Its muzzle velocity of 1,225 fps is not unusually fast, but its massive payload of 15 individual pellets of 00 buckshot means it’s due to transfer well over 2,000 ft lbs of kinetic energy to a threat at close range. To put that in context, this shell’s energy delivery is roughly comparable to shooting the target more than six times with a 9mm handgun.

Barnes is best known for their solid copper bullets, but their shotshells are manufactured in accordance with equally exacting tolerances. This ammo’s sure-fire noncorrosive primers, fast-burning powder and smooth-feeding hulls are all sure to prove their worth if you ever have to fire your shotgun in self-defense. Good for deer hunting, too!
