Hornady Critical Defense 12GA 00 Buck 2.75" – 10 Rounds

Hornady Critical Defense 12-gauge 00 buckshot is designed for close-quarters defensive use with a tightly-controlled pattern and consistent pellet placement. Each 2.75" shell launches eight 00-buck pellets (.33 caliber) using Hornady's Versatite wad system, which reduces felt recoil while maintaining pattern integrity at typical home defense distances. This is a purpose-built defensive load optimized for reliability in pump-action and semi-automatic shotguns.

These shells feed reliably in most 12-gauge defensive shotguns and are loaded with clean-burning powder to reduce fouling. Available in 10-round boxes or cases of 100 rounds. Brass-plated hull with a low-brass head height. Suitable for home defense and personal protection applications where overpenetration is a concern.
