“In the midnight hour, I can feel a power.” We’re sure you’re already familiar with that lyric from the song “Like a Prayer,” seeing as how so many BulkAmmo.com customers are huge fans of Madonna. But its meaning depends on context. For example, if a criminal breaks into your home in the midnight hour with the intention of causing you immediate bodily harm – and you manage the situation with the aid of your 12 Gauge shotgun – then they will most certainly “feel a power,” too.
Fiocchi has made some truly useful ammo to have during a home invasion. Each shell is loaded with nine pellets of #1 buckshot: just less than 7/8 ounces total, which alongside a moderate muzzle velocity of 1,250 fps is going to treat you to roughly the same kind of recoil as a light target load. That’s an enormous advantage to have when your life is at stake, as less recoil means less of the muzzle rise which throws your aim off target with each shot. Smaller #1 buck (0.30” diameter) is still perfectly capable of instantly neutralizing a threat, and its lighter weight (~40.5 grains per pellet) translates to reduced (but not eliminated) risk of overpenetration.

This was my first experience purchasing from Bulkammo.com. The ordering process was straightforward, and the shipping was exactly as advertised — fast and secure. I tested the shells on my new Beretta A300. It was a pleasure! The recoil was mild, and the shot grouping was about 6 to 8 inches at 10 yards, with an average of 5 pellets clustering at the center. I fired fifty rounds and had one failure to eject the spent case fully. This is negligible since the A300 was brand new, straight out of the box. If this had happened after 300 or 400 rounds, it would have been a different story. (Posted on 7/31/2025)

The ammunition functioned flawlessly in my Wingmaster 870. At 25 yards, the pellets started to spread out, resulting in three hits on a B-27 target. The light recoil allowed for quick follow-up shots. I would like to see nickel-plated pellets in a buffer material. That is a personal preference. This is reliable, economical buckshot for practice or general use. (Posted on 4/1/2025)

Bought a case of these knowing I might have issues in my Stoeger M3000. Just like it says on the box, I could barely run these, and was never able to empty a full magazine. The upside though is the shells are star crimped and I was able to fit 5 shells into the tube, even though my M3000 is only supposed to be 4 rounds in the tube. I still like them cause they're great in my pump gun. Recoil is very light, comparable to a light target load. Spread was great in my opinion for my home defense needs. At 30ft/10yds - the longest shot in my home - with cylinder choke, the spread was about 5" average on 5 human sized targets. For fun I decided to see what the spread was like at 75ft/25yds. At that point I was getting about 16" of spread on cylinder choke. While not all on the human sized target, all pellets were on the paper.
For a very basic, cheap buckshot, this personally exceeded my expectations, and I'd gladly use these in my pump gun for home defense. (Posted on 3/5/2025)

I bought these to mainly run on a refurbished Benelli M1 S90. As stated on the packaging that light shot load may not cycle some semi-automatic shotguns and that turns out to be the case with me. However, all is not lost because these shells are a good fit for my pump shotgun. I would recommend them to anyone except not for most semiautomatic shotguns due to the low weight of the shot. (7/8) ounce. (Posted on 7/11/2024)
