Federal Premium Copper Plated Buckshot 12 Gauge Ammo

#1 Buck For Deer Hunting

Federal Premium Copper Plated Buckshot is a 12 gauge deer load built to hold its pattern and carry energy through the shot. Each 2-3/4 inch shell carries 16 pellets of #1 buck, a pellet size between the common 00 and #4 buck loads, so you get a dense spread without dropping to small shot. The deer artwork on the box makes the intended use clear. This load is for hunters who take whitetails with a shotgun where rifles are restricted or where cover keeps shots close.

Features

• 12 Gauge, 2-3/4 Inch Shell — The standard 12 gauge length, which chambers in any 12 gauge shotgun rated for 2-3/4 inch or longer shells.
• #1 Buck Shot Size — Larger than #4 buck and smaller than 00, #1 buck puts more pellets in the shell while each one stays heavy enough for deer.
• 16 Pellets Per Shell — Sixteen pellets per round give a dense pattern, so more hits reach the target at typical buckshot distances.
• Copper-Plated Lead Pellets — A copper coating over each lead pellet resists flattening in the barrel, which keeps the pellets round for more consistent flight and better penetration.
• Buffered Shot Column — Granulated buffer packed around the pellets cushions them on firing, helping hold patterns tight and energy consistent downrange.
• 1,325 FPS Muzzle Velocity — The pellets leave the barrel at 1,325 feet per second, the speed measured right at the muzzle.
• Box Of 5 Shotshells — Five rounds per box, enough to pattern your gun and fill the magazine for a day in the stand.
• Made In The USA — Federal loads this ammunition in the United States, as marked on the box.

Load Specifications

This is Federal Premium product number P1541B: 12 gauge, 2-3/4 inch, 16 pellets of copper-plated #1 buck at 1,325 fps. The plating and buffer are there to keep pellets from deforming, because misshapen pellets fly off line and open the pattern. Shotgun chokes affect buckshot differently, so pattern this load in your own gun at your expected range before the season.
