Federal Premium .410 Handgun Shotshells (000)

.410 Handgun Defense Load

Federal Premium Personal Defense 410 Handgun shotshells are buckshot loads built for revolvers chambered in .410 bore, the smallest common shotgun gauge, such as the Taurus Judge and Smith & Wesson Governor. Each 2-1/2 inch shell carries four 000 buckshot pellets, a heavy charge for a short barrel. It suits owners who keep one of these revolvers for home or personal defense and want a load made for that job instead of a field load meant for birds.

Features

• 000 Buckshot Payload — Each shell holds four pellets of 000 buck, pronounced "triple-aught" and the largest standard buckshot size.
• Copper-Plated Lead Pellets — A copper coating over the lead pellets helps them hold their round shape as they leave the barrel.
• 7/16 Ounce Shot Charge — The four pellets total 7/16 oz of shot per round.
• 850 FPS Muzzle Velocity — Federal rates the load at 850 feet per second, the speed the pellets carry as they exit the muzzle.
• 2-1/2 Inch Shell Length — The shell is sized for .410 revolvers chambered for 2-1/2 inch shells.
• Plastic Hull With Brass-Colored Head — The red plastic hull and metal base match the Federal shells shown in the photographs.
• Handgun-Specific Design — Federal developed this load for the short barrels of .410 revolvers rather than full-length shotguns.
• 20 Shotshells Per Box — Each box has enough for testing patterns and keeping a loaded revolver topped up.
• Made In The USA — Federal Premium manufactures this ammunition in the United States, as marked on the box.

Fit And Compatibility

These shells are for firearms chambered in .410 bore that accept 2-1/2 inch shells, with the Taurus Judge and S&W Governor as the intended platforms. Check the chamber marking on your revolver or shotgun before loading. Pattern the load at the distances you expect to use it, since spread from a short rifled revolver barrel differs from gun to gun.
