Fed Prm Vshok 12ga 3" #3 Bck 5/250

Federal Premium Vital-Shok 12-gauge 3-inch #3 buckshot delivers consistent, precision performance in a shotshell engineered for serious downrange effectiveness. Loaded with copper-plated pellets, this ammunition provides tight shot patterns and sustained energy transfer that set it apart from basic buckshot loads. The 3-inch 12ga magnum shell maximizes payload capacity for hunters and tactical users requiring reliable terminal performance on larger game and predators.

The copper-plated construction prevents pellet deformation in the barrel, which is critical for maintaining pattern density downrange. Federal's buffering system reduces pellet-to-pellet contact, allowing each shot to fly true through dense foliage and at extended distances. The #3 buckshot size offers a practical balance between pellet count and individual pellet energy—more hits on target without sacrificing the stopping power needed for hogs, deer, and predators at typical hunting ranges. The 5-round box format supports field-ready carry and practice training without excessive recoil accumulation.

This Federal Premium Vital-Shok load is purpose-built for hunters and serious shotgun operators who refuse to compromise on pattern control and ballistic consistency. Suitable for pump, semi-automatic, and break-action platforms in standard 12-gauge chambers rated for 3-inch magnum loads, it serves both traditional hunting applications and modern tactical training. Federal's reputation for quality control ensures lot-to-lot uniformity and reliable feeding in standard shotgun magazines and feed systems.
