250 Rounds of 12ga Ammo by Fiocchi - #1 Buck

“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.
