Did you think 12 Gauge home defense and hunting ammunition is only loaded with 00 buck? Well, just because you’re wrong doesn’t mean we don’t still love you. We’ll prove it by shipping you as many boxes of Rio Royal ammo as your little heart desires!
Nine pellets of shot would be completely normal for a 00 buckshot shell of this length. But because it is loaded with nine pellets of #1 buck – one piece of which is 91% as wide as a double-aught, and only 75% as heavy – this shell does a couple of interesting things. First, lower recoil, simply because its 1,250 fps muzzle velocity doesn’t move as much mass. Second, reduced chance of over-penetration. The #1 buck pellet only has about 75% as much striking energy at the muzzle as a double-aught would, and its lighter weight also grants it less of the momentum that could carry it clear through the target after impact. That can help you a great deal if you ever fire this ammo in your home and want as little chance of striking an innocent bystander as possible.*
*Lest you believe otherwise, nothing can eliminate that risk. Know your target and what lies beyond it, always.
