Hornady American Gunner 12 Gauge 2-3/4" Reduced Recoil 00 Buckshot - Box of 10

Hornady American Gunner 12 gauge reduced recoil 00 buckshot strikes the practical balance most shooters want: less kick on your shoulder without trading away the stopping power that matters in the field or on the range. Loaded with 8 pellets of swaged high antimony lead shot, each round is precision-manufactured to tight tolerances so you get consistent performance round after round. If you're running a modern semi-automatic shotgun and tired of brutal recoil, or you're stocking up for defensive practice where follow-up shot control matters, this is the load to consider.

The Hornady Versatite wad is engineered to separate cleanly from the shot string, delivering excellent pattern density and keeping your shot column tight for solid results downrange. The design also means you won't need to modify your shotgun or swap in specialized chokes to get the most out of this ammo—it works in standard hunting and tactical shotguns right out of the box. Hornady's reputation for quality ammunition is built on attention to detail, and you'll feel it in how these shells feed and perform.

Whether you're running the shotgun for home defense, tactical training, hunting upland game, or just putting rounds downrange at the club, reduced recoil 00 buckshot cuts fatigue over a long session without leaving you wondering if you've compromised terminal performance. This box of 10 rounds gives you a solid foundation to test the load in your gun and decide if it earns a spot in your rotation.
