Stars and Stripes offers this this ammo so you can blow very big holes through things, which is why they loaded it with nine angry pellets of 00 buckshot. Its 1/3" diameter hard lead pellets exit a shotgun's muzzle at a supersonic velocity of 1,200 fps, at which point they're as well equipped to drop a deer as they are able to make a home invader deeply, deeply regret invading your home. Stars & Stipes loads robust shotshells with brass-plated heads and fluted plastic tubes, which are black-colored for easier identification. Unload a barrage of powerful double-aught without gumming up your barrel with corrosive residues - Stars & Stipes primers and powder are both formulated to burn especially clean. Utilize this cost-effective ammo for hunting and home defense applications if you so wish, but it's just as good for making a big ruckus down at the range!
