12 Gauge – Vital-Shok Buckshot – 3" 000 Buck – 10 Pellet
PLEASE DOUBLE CHECK DETAILS, CALIBER, LOCAL LAWS, AND SHIPPING RESTRICTIONS BEFORE PURCHASE.
Federal Premium Vital-Shok 12 Gauge 3" 000 Buck is a heavy buckshot load built for shotguns chambered to safely run 3-inch shells. This load uses 10 pellets of 000 buckshot with copper-plated shot and buffering to help reduce pellet deformation and support more consistent patterns.
This is not soft range fodder. It is a full-power 3-inch 12 Gauge buckshot load for hunting, field use, and serious shotgun applications where larger pellets are preferred. Translation: buy it for the right chamber, not vibes and wishful thinking.
Ammo Compatibility

What It Does
This load delivers a heavy 000 buckshot payload with larger pellets than standard 00 buck. The 3-inch shell gives more payload room, but it also brings stronger recoil and stricter chamber requirements. Pattern your shotgun before relying on any buckshot load. Shotguns are picky beasts.
Why It’s Worth It
Federal Premium Vital-Shok Buckshot is built around copper-plated pellets, buffering, and practical field performance. It makes sense when you want a serious 12 Gauge buckshot load for medium game, predators, hogs, or other lawful shotgun applications where 000 buck fits the job.

Verify Before You Buy

Disclaimers
Ammo is more than metal and powder — it’s the embodiment of freedom. We sell freedom in brass cases. Sadly, some states fear that truth and hate freedom.
Freedom-Hating Zones: AK, CA, CT, D.C, HI, IL, MA, NJ, NY, RI — and any other state that thinks neutering the 2A makes them safer. We don’t ship there. Period.
Paperwork States: If your overlords demand permits, IDs, or FFL transfers, cough up the documents or your order dies in Valhalla’s spam folder.
Age: You must be legal age (18+ long gun ammo, 21+ handgun ammo).
We know it’s not your fault — freedom is often punished where it should be honored. But remember, rights not defended are rights surrendered. If you want to breathe freer air, everything’s bigger in Texas — the skies, the BBQ, and most of all, the freedom. Pack your bags, bring your appetite, and join us.
