12 Gauge – 00 Buck – 9P – Low Recoil – 2 3/4 – Federal Power-Shok (H132 00) – 250 Rounds

A 12 gauge is only effective if you can control it, and reduced-recoil buckshot makes that much easier for many shooters. This listing is Federal Power-Shok low recoil 12 gauge 2-3/4 inch 00 buckshot, 9 pellets, MPN H132 00, sold as a 250 round case.

Federal rates this load at 1,140 fps, compared with about 1,325 fps for full-power 9 pellet 00 buck. The lower speed meaningfully reduces felt recoil and muzzle rise while still putting nine roughly .33 caliber pellets on target. That makes it a strong choice for home defense, for newer or smaller-framed shooters, and for anyone practicing fast follow-up shots with a pump or semi-auto. It uses a conventional wad, so patterns open sooner than Federal FliteControl loads, which is one more reason to pattern your shotgun at realistic in-home distances.

This ammunition fits shotguns chambered in 12 gauge with a 2-3/4 inch or longer chamber, including the Mossberg 500, 590, and Shockwave, Remington 870, Benelli Nova and M4, Beretta 1301, Winchester SXP, and Maverick 88. A common question is whether low recoil buckshot cycles semi-auto shotguns. Many gas-operated semi-autos run it well, but some inertia-driven guns need full-power shells to cycle, so test yours before relying on it. Another common question is whether low recoil loads are effective for defense. Federal designed it for that role, and at typical indoor distances the reduced velocity still delivers a heavy payload.

Federal H132 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 low recoil 00 buckshot. Buying by the case lets you pattern, practice, and keep your defensive shotgun loaded from one production lot. Stored in a cool, dry place, shotshells stay reliable for years.
