Federal Premium Vital-Shok 12 Gauge 3" 00 Buckshot

Federal Premium Vital-Shok buckshot represents a proven approach to shotgun hunting ammunition. This load combines time-tested components with modern wad technology to deliver the performance serious hunters expect.

Key Features

• Copper-plated shot: High-quality copper-plated pellets resist deformation and maintain consistent ballistics downrange
• FliteControl wad system: Produces tighter, denser patterns than conventional wads, putting more pellets on target where it counts
• 12 pellets of 00 buck: A balanced payload that delivers stopping power on medium to large game
• 1325 fps velocity: Consistent, reliable performance across various shotgun platforms

Performance

The FliteControl wad is the standout feature here. Rather than relying on buffering alone, this wad design actively controls pellet flight, resulting in patterns that stay together longer and hit harder at distance. For hunters pursuing hogs or whitetail deer, that means more consistent, ethical kills.

The copper-plating serves a dual purpose: it protects the lead shot from deformation during acceleration and helps maintain pattern integrity. Buffering material further prevents pellet damage, ensuring uniform, dense patterns shot after shot.

The Bottom Line

Vital-Shok ammunition has earned its reputation through reliable, consistent performance in the field. This 3-inch load delivers the tight patterns and downrange energy serious hunters demand.
