PPU Stars & Stripes Defense Buckshot Shotshells 12ga 2-3/4" 9-pellet 1200 fps 00 250/ct Case (25 Boxes)

The PPU Stars & Stripes Defense Buckshot Shotshells offer a reliable, proven 12-gauge defensive load built on classic ballistics. Each 2-3/4" shell launches nine 00 pellets at 1200 fps—a full-power load that delivers consistent pattern and energy across a broad range of shotgun platforms. Whether you're running a pump gun, semi-auto, or single-shot shotgun, this ammunition is engineered to function reliably in defensive shotguns without fuss or special tuning.

Imported from Italy and available in convenient 250-round cases (25 boxes of 10), Stars & Stripes ammunition represents no-nonsense performance for home defense, duty, or serious training. The nine-pellet 00 buck load is a benchmark configuration trusted by shooters who demand predictable performance when it counts. The standard 2-3/4" shell length ensures broad compatibility across virtually any 12-gauge shotgun platform, from Remington 870 pumps and Mossberg 590s to modern autoloaders like the Benelli M1 Super 90 and traditional side-by-side shotguns.

Bulk case purchases make Stars & Stripes an economical option for shooters who practice seriously with the same load they carry defensively. Consistent ammunition means consistent patterns and familiarity—two hallmarks of responsible defensive shotgun use. At 1200 fps, this load sits in the proven middle ground: hot enough for reliable terminal performance, but not so hot that it demands a specialized gun or creates excessive wear.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will these shells work in my shotgun?

The 2-3/4" shell length is the standard for 12-gauge shotguns and will function in pump guns (like the 870 and 590), semi-automatics (including the Benelli M1 Super 90), single-shots, and side-by-side shotguns. As long as your shotgun is chambered for 2-3/4" 12-gauge loads, these shells will fire safely and reliably.

Are these good for defensive use?

Yes. The nine-pellet 00 buckshot load at 1200 fps is a time-tested defensive configuration. The full-power velocity and standard pellet count deliver consistent ballistics for home defense and duty use. The 1200 fps velocity is hot enough for reliable terminal performance while remaining manageable in most shotgun platforms.

What's included in a case?

A case contains 250 rounds packaged as 25 boxes with 10 shells per box. This bulk format is ideal for serious practice, training, and maintaining a consistent supply of defensive ammunition.

How does 9-pellet 00 buck compare to other defensive loads?

Nine 00 pellets is the industry-standard defensive buckshot configuration. It balances pattern density with shot count—enough pellets for reliable hits across vital areas without excessive spread at typical defensive ranges. The 1200 fps velocity sits in the proven middle of the performance envelope.
