FED PWRSHK 12GA 2.75 12P 00BCK 5/250

Description

Federal’s PowerShok buckshot is a working load — the kind kept in a bedside safe or a truck gun rather than saved for a particular occasion. It is loaded with twelve pellets of double-ought buck, which means a single trigger pull delivers a pattern of projectiles each roughly the diameter of a .33-caliber round. That pellet count is higher than the standard nine-pellet 00 buck load, putting more lead downrange per shot and widening the effective pattern at typical defensive and hunting distances without requiring any change in point of aim or follow-up technique.

The 2¾-inch shell fits any standard 12-gauge chamber, including older fixed-choke guns that may not safely handle 3-inch magnum loads, so this ammunition works across a wide range of shotguns without requiring a platform decision. PowerShok is built around a straightforward design philosophy: reliable ignition, consistent velocities, and a no-frills hull that functions dependably through pump and semi-automatic actions alike. For hunters pursuing whitetail at close range or anyone stocking a home-defense shotgun, it covers the core requirement without overcomplicating the selection. Sold in boxes of five with 250 rounds to the case, it is practical ammunition for both stocking up and range practice to maintain proficiency with a defensive load.
