Tight 15 yard pattern

By walt

Comments about Federal Premium Personal Defense Ammunition 12 Gauge 2-3/4" Reduced Recoil 00 Buckshot 9 Pellets Box of 5:

I fired this buckshot load thru an Ithaca 37 with a 20 inch cylinder bore barrel. At 15 yards the patter was about the size of a playing card. Backing up to 25 yards the group enlarged to roughly 9 inches. Recoil is also less than normal buck.

By JW

Comments about Federal Premium Personal Defense Ammunition 12 Gauge 2-3/4" Reduced Recoil 00 Buckshot 9 Pellets Box of 5:

From my 20" barrel 870 with cylinder choke, pattern results are as follows (extreme spread in all cases):15 yards - 4",20 yards - 4",25 yards - 5",30 yards - 7",35 yards - 12".I have patterned a good bit of buckshot over the years and these pattern the tightest that I have ever seen. Had I not done this myself I would have had a hard time believing what they are capable of. I recovered a couple of the FLITECONTROL wads and they are very deep and heavily constructed, which no doubt is a major factor in such outstanding performance. The folks at Federal have a winner here.

By Ryan

Comments about Federal Premium Personal Defense Ammunition 12 Gauge 2-3/4" Reduced Recoil 00 Buckshot 9 Pellets Box of 5:

Best buckshot I have found. Patterns are so much smaller that I expected. The further I shot the more impressed I was when comparing to my old "go to" round. I will not be buying any of the brands that I previously preferred. Recoil was definitely more gentle than I expected too. Would not hesitate to let my wife use this ammo. Try it out and you will be impressed as well.

After patterning this ...

By Jeff

from Aloha, OR

Comments about Federal Premium Personal Defense Ammunition 12 Gauge 2-3/4" Reduced Recoil 00 Buckshot 9 Pellets Box of 5:

After patterning this load against other low-recoil loads, this one will be my HD ammunition. Patterns at 10 yds were half or less the size of those of the other tested loads, about 2 1/2", and about 2/3 the size of the others at 15yds. MUCH easier on the shoulder than regular 2 3/4" buckshot loads, too. I was skeptical of the reduced recoil claims, but testing showed them to be completely true (of the other tested loads also, this one just patterned best for me in my 18" cyl bore 870).

Comments about Federal Premium Personal Defense Ammunition 12 Gauge 2-3/4" Reduced Recoil 00 Buckshot 9 Pellets Box of 5:

This ammunition is amazing! Now having said that I dont recommend it for HD in small houses or apt. I would describe the pattern at 10yds, if there was one! I just had one big hole! At 25yds I did get a magnificent 8 inch spread (3 shot average) My weapon of choice is a Mossberg 590 A1. Now I recommend that you try some for yourself, yet if you want a wide open pattern in close quarters vie found that Winchester Mil Surplus ammo gives a good shoulder to shoulder pattern at 10yds. Additionally if youre running Federal Ammo with a Flite Control Wad don't use a choke! The chokes actually strip the wad and produce false patterns (if any pattern). My gun has a true cylinder bore ( No choke ).

By Frank

from Chester, Ct

Comments about Federal Premium Personal Defense Ammunition 12 Gauge 2-3/4" Reduced Recoil 00 Buckshot 9 Pellets Box of 5:

Excellent ammunition. Benelli M1 tactical 18 1/2 inch barrel. IC choke tube. Six inch pattern at 15 yd. Three inch pattern at seven yards. Cycled perfectly. Easy recoil. Full choke tube gave erratic bunchy patterns so stay with IC tube. Knocked down pepper popper at 15 yards at least as hard as a 45 ACP. I don't even bother with the other brands, I just use Federal for everything.
