The 8 pellet FliteControl load is one of the most popular patrol shotgun rounds in the country, prized for very tight patterns and manageable recoil. This listing is Federal Law Enforcement 12 gauge 2-3/4 inch 00 buckshot, 8 pellets, with the FliteControl wad, MPN LE133 00, sold as a 250 round case.
Federal lists this load at 1,145 fps. The FliteControl wad stays with the pellets for several feet after leaving the barrel and then separates using rear-deploying brakes, keeping the shot column together far longer than a conventional wad. Using 8 pellets instead of 9 allows the pellets to stack evenly in the shell, which helps produce consistent, round patterns. The moderate velocity keeps recoil manageable, so shooters can make fast, accurate follow-up shots. Tighter patterns mean more pellets on target and fewer stray pellets, which is why agencies and home defenders choose it.
This ammunition fits shotguns chambered in 12 gauge with a 2-3/4 inch or longer chamber, including the Remington 870 and 870 Police, Mossberg 500, 590, and 590A1, Benelli M4 and M1014, Beretta 1301 Tactical, and Winchester SXP Defender. A common question is how 8 pellet and 9 pellet FliteControl compare. The 8 pellet load usually patterns a little tighter, while the 9 pellet load carries one more pellet; pattern both in your shotgun to see which it prefers. Another common question is which choke to use. Federal recommends cylinder bore or improved cylinder, and ported or very tight chokes can disrupt the FliteControl wad.
Federal LE133 00 is new production ammunition, not reloads, made in the USA. This case comes in factory packaging as 50 boxes of 5 rounds for a total of 250 rounds of 12 gauge 8 pellet 00 buckshot, enough to pattern, train, and stock a defensive shotgun from one production lot. Store the shells in a cool, dry place and they will stay ready for years.

Great experience ! Have shot this round before but it is so hard to find in September 2024. Found it her after 1.5 hours of searching other companies. Some companies say “will give tracking # when shipped but often it shows up at my gate w/out any notice. With Bulk ammunition I got text of “preparing order , order picked up , tracking #, order out for delivery, order delivered ” . Man, you can’t beat that especially in todays climate where everything seems “over promised and under delivered “. They have earned my business.

Glad to find you carried this. It’s hard to find and at a great price as well. Very quick shipping as well.

Shot and patterned well from 5 to 25 yards, just over a slug to a coffee can, from a Mossberg 590.

Great company. Excellent comms, extremely fast shipping, items arrived in perfect shape, exactly as ordered. Will be buying more from them in the future.

This is the best low-recoil buckshot you can get. Eight pellets give excellent patterns at greater ranges, for those times you may have to reach out, and make it possible to make a critical shot close-in if you don’t have time to switch to slug. I was very happy to find this at a fair price, at a time when others are selling less-capable rounds at higher prices.

Recently placed a few orders and everything showed up on time. I had a few questions, which were quickly answered and were very helpful. I plan on ordering from them again.

Really good Ammo. I use it in my 16 round IWI Tavor shotgun. I’ve ran it both on low and High velocity settings and it cycles and shoots without issue. I think i’ve ran about 200 rounds so far and no issues at all and always on target. Shipping was fast and prices were on-point.. given the current state of things…

The ammo itself is GTG – as advertised. It was grossly overpriced, but during a shortage people have to pay what vendors charge – it’s a seller’s market.
Shipping was fast, and communication was very good.

Found this during the recent shortage. Very fast shipping. Happy customer. Will be back

They are the ONLY ones who have this ammo, the pricing isn’t the best, but reasonable considering they are the ONLY source. Shipping is fast, and customer service is excellent.

Great pattern control which is important if considering for home defense. BulkMunitions has the quickest delivery I’ve found.

This is the ammo you want if you want tight patterns.
