A #1 buck pellet is a couple of steps down in size from 00 buck. It’s 0.03” narrower in diameter and 13.3 grains lighter, which is why this shell’s nine-pellet column weighs a mere 0.83 ounces (for contex, nine pellets of double-aught weigh 1.1 ounces). That’s light, so you’re sure to notice seriously soft recoil despite the shell’s average muzzle velocity of 1,250 fps. In addition to helping you fire more comfortably, that’s going to help you land well-aimed shots in faster succession – an enormous boon during a self-defense scenario.
This shell’s small pellets pose yet another advantage: shallower penetration. The lighter #1 buck pellet’s lesser momentum is still sufficient to carry it to the threat’s vitals, but also poses a lower risk of over-penetration. No ammo is perfectly safe to fire around innocent bystanders, but you can take heart that this 12 Gauge ammo is less likely to punch through multiple walls.
