Buckshot can get dismissed as the stuff of simple scatterguns but we engineer these shotshells to provide the same precision performance as all of our other loads. Federal PremiumA(R) Buckshot uses copper-plated pellets to produce tight patterns and great downrange energy. It also puts more hits on target for impressive stopping power on predators hogs and deer. Copper-plated shot Buffering prevents pellet deformation and ensures dense uniform patterns Impressive stopping power on predators hogs and deer
