The Federal 12 gauge tactical buckshot is federal manufactures two tactical buckshot shells specifically designed for military and law enforcement purposes. One is conventional nine pellet 00 (8.3 mm) buckshot, while the other is Nr. 4 (6 mm) buckshot. The latter contains 27 pellets in each shell, which is actually a slightly heavier load than that of Federal's 00 tactical buckshot round. Both rounds are in essence reduced recoil loads that allow for rapid follow-up shots in dynamic tactical situations, where
rapid fire is required. In addition, the reduced recoil enhances training and improves shotgun qualification scores. Federal buckshot is loaded with extra hard, copper plated lead alloy pellets that are contained in a patented shot cup that precludes pellet deformation. The pellets are configured in a patented 'spiral stack' that, according to the manufacturer, ensures that 97 per cent of the pellets will hit a human size target at 25 m with no reduction in target penetration.
