Federal Premium Vital-Shok 12-gauge 3-inch #3 buckshot is engineered for serious downrange effectiveness, making it ideal for hunters targeting larger game and predators. This shotshell delivers consistent, precision performance, setting it apart from basic buckshot loads. With a total of 250 rounds available in a case, it supports extended practice and training without excessive recoil accumulation.
Loaded with copper-plated pellets, this ammunition provides tight shot patterns and sustained energy transfer. The copper-plated construction prevents pellet deformation in the barrel, which is critical for maintaining pattern density downrange. Additionally, Federal's buffering system reduces pellet-to-pellet contact, allowing each shot to fly true through dense foliage.
The #3 buckshot size offers a practical balance between pellet count and individual pellet energy, ensuring effective hits on target. This load is suitable for pump, semi-automatic, and break-action platforms in standard 12-gauge chambers rated for 3-inch magnum loads. Whether for hunting or training, this ammunition is designed to deliver reliable performance.
