Rio Royal Buck Low Recoil 12 Gauge 00 Buck Ammo - 2 3/4" Shell, 9 Pellets, 5 Rounds per Box, 50 Boxes per Case

Rio Royal Buck Low Recoil 12 gauge 00 buck ammo delivers a practical balance of stopping power and shootability for hunters and sport shooters who want to stay comfortable behind the gun. These 2 3/4" shells load 9 pellets of #00 buckshot per round—a proven configuration for deer hunting, home defense, and general purpose shotgun work. The low-recoil design lets you shoot more rounds during a hunting day or practice session without the punishment that can wear you down by mid-afternoon.

Rio Ammunition's Royal Buck line has built a solid reputation among shooters who value consistent, dependable performance without unnecessary flair or premium pricing. The 1200 fps muzzle velocity provides effective range and terminal energy typical of modern buckshot loads, striking a practical middle ground between magnum power and controllable recoil. Whether you're hunting whitetail in dense cover, setting up for home defense, or running drills at the range, these shells are engineered to cycle reliably in standard 12-gauge shotguns.

Each box contains 5 rounds; the case packs 50 boxes, so you can stock up for the season or supply a hunt camp. The low-recoil platform makes the Royal Buck line a smart choice for shooters who want to maximize accuracy and follow-up shot capability without sacrificing the terminal ballistics that matter downrange.
