Description
The Hornady Critical Defense 12 Gauge buckshot load is engineered specifically for personal protection and home defense, delivering reliable, controlled spread and deep terminal performance when it matters most. Each 2.75″ shell is loaded with 8 pellets of 00 buck lead shot, propelled to a 1600 fps muzzle velocity for the authority needed in defensive situations.
Hornady’s proprietary Versatite wad technology ensures consistent patterns and proper functioning in both semi-automatic and pump-action shotguns, so you can count on reliable cycling and tight, predictable shot patterns. Clean-burning powders and propellants reduce residue and fouling, while non-corrosive primers and a plastic hull round out a defensive load built for dependable ignition and long shelf life.
Purpose-built for the home defense role, the Critical Defense line is a proven choice for stocking a bedside defensive shotgun or running pattern tests at the range, delivering the stopping power and pattern consistency you need.
Your purchase options:
- Box – 10 Rounds: 10 shells per box, ideal for stocking a defensive shotgun or running pattern tests at the range.
- Case – 100 Rounds (10 Boxes): 10 boxes of 10 rounds each, providing a full case for extended training and sustained home defense readiness.
