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.

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.

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.

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.

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
