5 Rounds of #4 Buck 20ga Ammo by Federal

Shotguns have long been the favored firearm when it comes to home defense. The military and law enforcement use 12 gauge shotguns for tactical purposes on a regular basis, utilizing them for everything from breaching walls to blowing the locks off doors, and then there’s their phenomenal stopping power. One drawback of using a 12 gauge shotgun with a big load in a house is the tendency towards over-penetration. The last thing you want is for your 00 buck or slug rounds to barrel through a wall and injure or kill an innocent person on the other side. That’s where these 20 gauge rounds come in.

These 20 gauge rounds are each 2 ¾” long. Each round is filled with #4 buckshot which Federal lists as having approximately ten to twelve inches of penetration, which is considered ideal for self-defense purposes. Because these are smaller buckshot rounds they’re far less likely to over-penetrate. These rounds fly down-range with a muzzle velocity of 1100 feet per second and impact targets with compelling force. Federal manufactures these 20-gauge rounds specifically for self-defense use; these are Federal Personal Defense rounds.

There are just 5 rounds in this single box of ammunition. These boxes are the perfect size for tucking in your pocket or stashing in your range bag and even a good size for stacking in your gun safe, but they still only hold 5 rounds. 5 rounds gives you a taste of what these Federal rounds are capable of and allows for a few practice shots. If you want solid realistic training time, order multiple boxes. Federal was founded in 1922 by Charles Horn and has spent almost 100 years coming up with new, innovative ammunition. Manufacturing takes place at their longtime factory in Anoka, Minnesota. To keep your 20-gauge shotgun ready to defend your castle, place your order now. What are you waiting for?
