Fiochi been around a while but I'm not very familiar with it. 46 cents per round...it'll do. This was my July ammo purchase....lol

I just bought 150 rounds of this 00 buckshot....for "home defense." Across the room distance it should do OK. Its not for hunting.

Seems like a screaming deal that'll work perfect for its intentions.
I wouldnt feel bad trying it out of different chokes for that price.

I have used plenty of Fiocchi shotgun shells and they work great. I am sure the buckshot will work very well for you too!

Used thousands of Fiocchi rounds for sporting clays and skeet an trap. Good ammo never had a problem.

will it be the tightest patterning shot around , maybe not not , will it matter? not at HD distances.

this is the cheapest buck around suprema it is a spanish company it was around 7 dollars a box of 25

this is Remington express buck more than 7 dollars a box

this is from a 20" IC barrel this is the worst it patterned from any gun I tried 32 feet because it is the longest possible distance in my house

I have shot a bunch of Fiochi in other rounds it alwasy worked fine.

Remember when buckshot was an acceptable hunting round?


Before my time but would hear that guys wouod have small game shot in front and a 00 shell behind that. If they saw a deer they eject the small game and shoot the 00.

Buckshot is still commonly used down here in these deer hound woods. I pity the deer dog hunter that hasnt kept his buckshot supply up. Not readily available, especially magnum hunting loads.

Lookout other hunters for those zinging hp rifle rounds this season.......

Would rather myself run some #4 buckshot. Don't need to penetrate a couple walls.

Hard to find 4 buck even listed in the ammo website's filters.....but you are correct 4 buck would be good on a home intruder.

We use buckshot here for deer. get the right choke/load combination and it will floor a deer out to 70 yards or more. For home defense I do not think you can beat a load of birdshot. Will floor any intruder at room distances but not kill someone through the wall and into the room behind.

you can still buy 35 caliber round ball at track of the wolf. 500 is 43 bucks. if you can get soft lead lee round ball molds are not to high either. 9 35 caliber balls is slightly less than an ounce. Uncooked cream of wheat makes a great filler.

I read in sports afield when I was a kid that
Buckshot was good for wounding deer and killing your buddy
So it should be great to shoot home invaders

Never had a problem with fiocci shells.
but, I'd rather have smaller shot for home defense.


swampgas chili and schmidt beer makes for a deadly combo

The wife will likely be the only other person in my home and she will probably be close to me in a home defense situation. She may even be the 12 ga handler. I'll have the Glock.
