Customer Reviews for Federal Personal Defense .410 GA 2.5" 4-pellet 000-Buckshot 20rd box

This is the best ammo I have found for the judge. Compact groups at 10 yards and solid accuracy.

Shot very well, lots of punch from these rounds. Price was right as well

Designed for handguns, makes my sons Tuffy a formidable defense gun.

Shot great out of my Judge.

Very happy with my purchase and with Bud's!

Used to use 000 lead buckshot, which went through 5 phone books like the holes had been drilled, not destroyed. However, all the lead 000 buckshot shotgun powder did not all burn up in the revolver. Then, when the Federal 410 came out with pistol powder, it had more of a tendency to burn all the powder up in the shells. To top that off, when hunters are hunting turkeys, etc, they use copper plated pellets &/or buckshot to go through turkey feathers. I just figured since they will go thru turkey feathers, just don't see why the Federal 000 410 copper plated wouldn't go through other turkey feathers, even with a revolver. Hum. If you can find them, get them. I ordered several boxes on one Bud's Ammo Truckload recently. Glad I did, haven't been able to find them since. Watch for Buds Ammo Truckload sale of ammo.

Works great in my Judge (Public Defender Poly). Goes bang every time and makes a sizable hole.

Great pattern and coverage at 50 feet

The BEST for the Public Defender- work GREAT for me.IF u can find them.

Great HD option ad shoots well out of the S&W Governor. Shot patterns very nicely at 7-10 yards.

Outstanding round - This is my primary round I use in my Mossberg 590 Shockwave. Mark C.

I AM REVIEWING THIS PURELY AS SELF DEFENSE SHOT FROM THE S&W GOVERNOR/TAURUS JUDGE PLATFORM:
IT IS NOT THE IDEAL EDC ROUND. IT IS...THE IDEAL EDC TRAVEL PISTOL. YOU MAG GET A SETUP IN YOUR CAR OR JUST STICK THE BARREL BETWEEN THE CAR SEATS...
SO PICTURE THIS: A ROUND THAT THROWS 4 .36 caliber BALLS ONE BEHIND THE OTHER LIKE A PITCHER THROWING A BASEBALL ( at self defense distance ) YOU HAVE THE FAST DRAW SHOULD ANYONE WALK UP TO YOU AT YOUR CAR, THERES NO DRAWING FROM THE WAIST. NO BALLISTICS WORRY SHOOTING THROUGH GLASS & AGAIN EVERY SHOT AND FOLLOW UP SHOT IS 4 .36 cal BALLS PUTTING HOLES THROUGH AN ATTACKERS BODY. THATS SOMETHING NO HOLLOW POINT CAN MATCH.
THIS IS PURELY A REVIEW AS A TRUCK/CAR EDC WHILE YOUR IN YOUR VEHICLE REVIEW: 5 STARS

My wife and I put this through the Judge, they slide right in and empties don't get stuck coming out. From 7 & 10 yards, I was surprised at the grouping. Tighter and more consistent than expected. This is an ideal home defense ammo and Buds is consistently priced better than other sources, including shipping (if you buy enough rounds). We'll be stocking up

Found this ammunition to be one of the best for poly public defender.
