Federal Power-Shok Ammunition 12 Gauge 3" Buffered #4 Buckshot 41 Pellets Box of 5

Federal Power-Shok 12 gauge 3" buckshot in #4 shot is purpose-built for hunters who need reliable, hard-hitting performance in the field. This 41-pellet load packs the payload and consistency you need for deer-size game at hunting distances. Whether you're working through tight brush, setting up a stand, or hunting from a blind, Power-Shok ammunition has earned a solid reputation for delivering patterns you can count on when it matters.

The Triple Plus wad system is engineered to keep shot pellets organized through the barrel and downrange, which means tighter, more predictable patterns than you'd get from basic loads. That consistency matters: it lets you pattern your shotgun with confidence and know exactly what to expect when a deer steps into range. The granulated plastic buffer technology keeps pellets from deforming during the firing process, helping them hold their shape and maintain velocity—the difference between a clean harvest and a wounded animal.

Power-Shok has a proven track record in both traditional pump and semi-auto shotguns, so you can run it in virtually any 12-gauge platform in your safe. It's the kind of ammunition that rewards you for taking time to pattern it; put in the work on the range, and you'll have a load that performs reliably in the field.
