Remington's Ultimate Defense 20-gauge buckshot delivers dense patterns with 17 pellets of #3 buck at 1140 fps. Engineered for tight, effective short-range performance and reliable one-shot stopping power when it matters most.
When personal defense demands are at their highest, Remington Ultimate Defense buckshot delivers the performance you need. This 20-gauge load combines proven buckshot effectiveness with the manageable recoil characteristics of the smaller gauge.
Dense, Devastating Patterns — The 17-pellet load creates a concentrated pattern that delivers maximum energy transfer at defensive distances. This density ensures consistent, reliable performance from typical smoothbore shotgun barrels.
Tight Short-Range Patterns — Engineered for the distances where most defensive encounters occur, these rounds produce tight, effective patterns that provide one-shot confidence when you need it most.
Knockdown Power — The combination of pellet count, velocity, and #3 buck sizing delivers the stopping power required for serious defensive applications.
Remington's Ultimate Defense line represents decades of ammunition engineering focused on real-world defensive needs. This 20-gauge offering brings that same commitment to shooters who prefer the lighter recoil and faster target reacquisition of the smaller gauge without sacrificing stopping power.
