5 Rounds of 12ga Ammo by Barnes Defense - 00 Buck

00 buck is the most popular choice of shot for home defense with a 12 Gauge shotgun. This shell by Barnes of Utah just contains more 00 buck than average. At 3” long, it has the capacity to store a whopping fifteen 0.33” diameter pellets and the powder it needs to launch so much shot to a supersonic muzzle velocity of 1,225 fps!

This shell’s solid lead shot pellets are rigid enough to undergo such rapid acceleration without flattening out and losing their spherical, aerodynamic profiles. They’ll pattern tightly, and they’ll enter deeply in their target. Although 1,225 fps is not the fastest muzzle velocity a double-aught 12 Gauge shell can have, its massive shot column weighs just shy of two ounces and will immediately overpower any threat to your personal safety.

This ammunition is loaded with the strong and straight plastic tubes, hard brass-plated heads, reliable primers and uniform propellant charges that are all requisite for reliable performance. Just make sure your shotgun can take 3” shells before you order a few boxes!
