We all know and love 00 buckshot. But sometimes, it’s just a little too much for the task at hand. You might want something smaller if hope to defend your home with less risk of striking one of the neighbors’ houses. You might want something smaller for taking predators or lighter deer, too.

And therein lies the simple beauty of this Royal series ammunition, by Rio. Its #1 buckshot is two sizes smaller than conventional double-aught!

One piece of #1 buck is about 25% lighter than a piece of the common alternative. It doesn’t hit as hard when it is traveling at the same velocity. It inflicts a slightly narrower entry wound and wound column. It has a tendency to penetrate to a shallower depth as well.

And that’s not all! Because this shell is loaded with nine pellets of #1 buck – same quantity as many double-aught loads – it has perceptibly lower recoil than almost all other double-aught ammo!
