We have two hopes for you: that you never have to use your 20 Gauge shotgun for home defense, and that you stock up Federal Premium buckshot ammo in case you ever do.

This shell is loaded with a less common form of buckshot: #2, one pellet of which weighs 29.4 grains and measures 0.27” in diameter. It’s smaller than 00 buck (54.8 grains, 0.33”), which is why this 2-3/4” shell can hold 10 “deuces” and the powder it needs to blast them out at 200 fps faster than the speed of sound.

Personal Defense is the highest-quality line of shotgun ammo Federal produces. (Many law enforcement agencies use its 12 Gauge analog in the field.) All of this shell’s components are top shelf, but its pattern-tightening features are its most interesting. These are copper plating and granulated buffering – both of which preserve pellet sphericity – as well as FliteControl wad, which promotes ideal alignment within the bore until it promotes closer pellet formation out of the barrel. It’s all added assurance that you’ll sink as many pellets into the threat as your aim will allow.
