Details
Rio's 20 gauge #1 buck offering serves up a great priced option for self-defense. Featuring 9-#1 buck pellets, this ammo exits the muzzle at approximately 1,345 feet per second delivering a hard hitting, consistent pattern with a much lighter recoil than the typical 12 gauge felt recoil. These shells' packaging may refer to their shot as "three-by-three," but that is just an unusual name for #1 buck in a 20 Gauge.
This bulk case includes 250 rounds of 20 gauge shells with 10 boxes including 25 rounds each. This is one of our top selling self-defense loads in 20 gauge due to the combination of high quality at a great price point made available from Rio.

Q: Is this 00 Buck or actually #1 Buck?
Posted On: 9/17/2013 By: Silver
A: The standard shot size for 00 Buckshot and #1 Buck are similar, though the diameters are slightly different. Generally speaking these may be interchangeable for their intended application. The diameter of the shot pellets are as follows:
00Buckshot = 8.83mm
#1 Buck = 7.62mm
Q: I have a 20 GA shotgun w/ 18" barrel (it was 24" initially). It is for home protection only. Is this product suitable/ safe for this barrel length? If not, what do you suggest? I am having a difficult time finding 20 GA 00BK
thank you

A: This 00 Buck shotgun ammunition from Rio will not have any issues with this barrel length. Rio loads these shotshells with premium and non corrosive shotgun ammunition components.
Q: Would this ammo work efficiently for the killing of raccoons less than 50 feet away? Or would it be a bit "overkill"?

A: That depends. Do you want to eat the raccoon afterwards? If so, you might want to use a single projectile (smaller than a 12ga slug, that is) on such a small animal. If you are just looking to eliminate pests, 00 Buck will do the job quite well.
