Federal 12ga 2.75" 9 Pellets 00 Buck Vital-Shok w/FC Shotshell Ammunition 5rds – PFC154 00

Wow.I compared these 00Buck to Federals Power Shok 3" 15 pellet 00 buck and 2.75" Power Shok 12 pellet 00 Buck at 40yds.The gun was a Benelli M2 with a Carlson mid-range Black Cloud choke.The flight control wad really works wonders.All 9 pellets were placed within a tight group with the farthest separation between any two only 13".Impressive for 40yds.Even though the other rounds have more pellets they only managed placing 3 or 4 pellets in a 20" circle.

I have access to a floodplain that's swimming in deer in a shot only area but our first couple of hunts had them stay just out of range so I bought this buckshot with the flitecontrol wad in the 3" for my 12 gauge Mossberg 500 hoping to gain some range. On our fourth day out, a group of deer walked towards our blind and when a good sized doe stepped away from the herd about 60 yards out I took aim for the head, let loose, and dropped her. It was a tighter pattern than I've ever seen at that range and had zero meat loss. 3/4 of the pellets hit her dead in the face and neck. I've got nothing but praise for this ammunition.

Bought these Federal Vital-Shok along with the Federal Power-Shok and the Remington Express Managed-Recoil all in 00 buck. All 3 where undersized with Federal being only 0 sized at 0.32 or less in size, 3.1 grams. I measured up the Remington and it fell somewhere in the middle at 0.325 at 3.3 grams. A true 00 Buck Pallet is 0.33" as advertised on both the Federal boxes and should weigh in at 3.6 grams

Just as promised. I patterned this 6" at 30 yards. Dropped a good size boar at 33 yards, at least 3-4 exit wounds.
