If you were to destroy this shell by cutting it open, you would immediately see the three features which suit it so well for defense. Each of the ten #2 buckshot pellets is plated with copper. Its plating hardens the pellet, thus enabling it to stay rounder, pattern tighter, and penetrate deeper. The pellets are also suspended in buffering: supple plastic beads which compress to keep the shot even rounder still. And because the shot column is cradled by a FliteControl – Federal’s highest-tech wad, which erects brake fins to ensure a clean, even break from the shot – you can truly trust most if not all of it to careen into your target.
This shell is loaded with #2 buckshot. It’s a smaller pellet than 00 buck, and therefore reduces (but doesn’t do away with) the risk of over-penetration. Smaller shot pellets also have the potential to deliver a thicker pattern, not to mention punch out more wound channels.
