Federal Law Enforcement shotshells are designed to provide
police officers with a reliable shotgun load to defend themselves against
violent criminals. They serve much the same purpose for private individuals and
hunters, all made possible by the innovative FLITECONTROL wad, which shapes the
9-pellet grouping and tightens it at medium range for superior versatility. The
wad and the mass of copper-plated pellets leave the muzzle of the shotgun at 1,145
feet per second, staying together for about 10 feet before gradually
disintegrating and spreading out. The design seeks to maximize impact on the
target while minimizing missed shots and collateral damage. Each box contains 5
shells with solid brass heads.

Q: Does it work in a semi automatic shotgun ?
Posted On: 2/20/2021 By: Roly
A: Thanks for reaching out Roly. I absolutely believe it should. Nine pellets of 00 buck loaded to a MV of 1,145 fps ought to generate adequate pressure to reliably cycle a semi-auto, and this review confirms as much: thetruthaboutguns.com/ammo-review-federal-premium-law-enforcement-buckshot-with-flitecontrol-wad/. I'd still like to ask Federal to confirm for you. I'll update this comment as soon as I hear back from them.
Q: How is the recoil on this ammo? Is it comparable to full power or reduced recoil slugs?
Posted On: 10/1/2014 By: Mitch
A: Hello Mitch,
These 2 3/4" 00buck shells by Federal in 12ga. have significantly less felt recoil than a full power slug shell, and noticeably less than a reduced recoil slug shell. These are excellent target and defense rounds in 12ga. with good patterning.
Q: What makes federal's flight control wad different from other wads?
Posted On: 10/21/2011 By: Ed
A: The FliteControl wad is designed to provide a tighter pattern, which allows the shooter to successfully engage targets with 00 buck at longer distances than other types of wads will allow.
