There’s nothing in the rules against tactical training with birdshot. It’s a good way to keep your costs down, even if you are forfeiting a bit of realism in the process.

But what about shooters who don’t *like* compromise? The kinds of guys who train the same way they would defend, and maybe wouldn’t mind having training ammo that they could also implement during a home invasion? For them, Federal Premium is the answer.

This 12 Gauge shotgun shell packs nine pieces of 00 buck. Its 1,325 fps muzzle velocity also makes its performance exactly like that of many defense shells. Federal didn’t go above and beyond by loading this range shell with extravagant components, although its hard lead shot, clean-burning powder, and strong plastic hulls and brass-plated caps all do their jobs steadfastly.

Use this ammo for hunting, if you please. It won’t pattern with quite as impressive efficiency as a top-tier alternative, but the deer probably won’t care.
