Fed Pd 410ga 2.5" #4 20/200

Federal Premium 410 Gauge 2.5" #4 Buckshot ammunition delivers purpose-built performance for .410 handguns and compact shotguns. Engineered specifically for defensive and training applications, this round combines Federal's proven hull design with optimized payload engineering to maximize reliability and pattern consistency in short-barreled platforms where traditional shotgun ammunition often underperforms.

The 2.5-inch shell delivers #4 buckshot at 950 feet per second—a velocity floor that ensures functional cycling and terminal performance in firearms with minimal spring tension. Federal's customized hull design and optimized brass thickness address the unique pressure and recoil management challenges .410 handguns face, reducing malfunction rates compared to repurposed rifle-gauge shotshell components. Twenty rounds per box allows dedicated practice and duty rotation without excessive per-round cost. The #4 buckshot payload offers a ballistic compromise between penetration depth and shot spread, suitable for intermediate self-defense distances in compact platforms.

This ammunition serves operators and civilians who carry .410 handgun platforms for backup defense or primary carry in jurisdictions favoring handgun-compatible shotgun rounds. Training volume shooters benefit from the affordable per-round cost and reliable function across a wider range of .410 host firearms. Compliance with standard .410 gauge specifications ensures compatibility with any .410 handgun or shotgun chambered for 2.5-inch shells.

Note: Federal Premium ammunition is loaded to SAAMI specifications and complies with all federal regulations governing civilian ammunition sales. Always verify your firearm's manual for approved ammunition specifications before purchase.
