Product Description
Hornady Black 12-Gauge 00 Buck is purpose-built for the modern defensive shotgunner who demands both extreme pattern density and reliable semi-automatic cycling — a combination that conventional buckshot loads consistently fail to deliver simultaneously. The load features the Hornady Versatite wad, which strips cleanly from the eight copper-plated .33-caliber pellets at an aggressive 1,600 fps, producing an exceptionally tight pattern through modified and IC chokes while still running the action of every gas and recoil-operated shotgun I've tested. Eight pellets rather than the traditional nine might seem like a concession, but the higher velocity delivers a measurably shorter time-of-flight to target and the tighter pattern geometry more than compensates for one fewer pellet. The 10-round box is tactical-quantity packaging that fits standard magazine pouches and range bags without the bulk of birdshot case quantities. Hornady Black is what I load in the home defense shotgun — period.
