Federal F12700 Power-Shok delivers consistent 00 buckshot performance with 9 pellets of 1 3/16 oz payload in a reliable 2.75-inch shell. This magnum load provides enhanced stopping power while maintaining manageable recoil for follow-up shots.
What Makes This Different
The Power-Shok series utilizes Federal's proven buffered shot technology to reduce pellet deformation during firing, resulting in tighter patterns and improved penetration. Unlike standard 00 buck loads that typically contain 8 pellets, this magnum configuration delivers 9 pellets for increased hit probability. Federal's quality control ensures consistent velocities across the entire production run, eliminating the performance variations common with budget ammunition.
