Great performance and price. Recoil isn't too bad, but it hits targets hard, as you'd expect.

This stuff is really good. I feel like it’s pretty hot whenever I have other buck shot around that I’m shooting and I’m comparing it This stuff is usually the hotter ammo which I like and there have been zero malfunctions over the past couple years. Ive probably shot around 250 rounds of this stuff ever it’s been great.

Cheap ammo for shooting steel never had a issue with ejection on any semi autos.

These are reduced recoil 00 buck, but the damage isn't reduced. They tore up the target boards just like the rest. Just hope I never have to use them. I sure as hell wouldn't want to be on the wrong end of them.

The RIO Ammo 12 Gauge Royal Buckshot 2.75" 9 Pellets 00-Buck 5ct I purchased works as well as others I tried at a much better price. I will be ordering more plus some other ammo in the future. Thanks Bud's!

Excellent ammo. Runs just fine through all three of my Turkish semi autos.

Not the best patterning buckshot I have tried, but certainly appropriate for self defense. If someone wanted to use buckshot for hunting, might want to spend a little more money on something of higher quality. But, for a self defense load, can’t beat the price.

Great shooting buckshot at an affordable price. Functions in my shotguns with no malfunctions after 100 rounds on three trips. Patterns consistently.

These 12 GA. 00 Buckshot loads will be used in both of my home defense guns. Not much else to say about 00 12 GA. buckshot loads, but this Rio seems to pattern nicely on full-size silhouette paper targets at 10 yards, plus the cost was an outstanding buy at the time. As always, when ammo availability was getting a little sparce, Bud's Gun Shop had what I needed, and then some! The purchase was easy, and shipping was fast. I love doing my firearms business with Bud's :)

The indoor range I shoot at in Tampa, Fl. only allows Buck Shot or Slugs. I prefer shooting Rio 00 Buckshot to slugs. These rounds are 100% reliable and never jam in my Mossberg 12 gauge shotgun. These rounds are clean burning and don’t leave a cloud of smoke in the air when they are shot. I usually buy 250 rounds at a time and when I get low I always buy more rounds from Bud’s. Bud’s has fast shipping and the shells always come in thick cardboard boxes. Thanks Rio and Buds for delivering all my shooting gear.

Don't let the low price keep you from purchasing this ammunition!! Although it is an "Off-name" brand, this buckshot does the job.....And does it very well!! Ran this ammo through my mossberg 500 pump, and it functioned flawlessly!! Every round went "Bang", and the shot group was well within what I would call excellent for police duty!! I thought this ammo would be a little more dirty because of the low price. I was completely wrong. It didn't create any more or less than much more expensive rounds. Great ammo at a great price. Once again, buds comes through with great bang for the buck!! (pun intended!!!)

I have several hundred of these rounds. It’s my preferred go-to for my primary home-defense weapon. The performance is more than adequate in either of my Mossberg 500 series shotguns. And deviating in my 590m. Cheers

It's 9 pellet 00buck shot and it shoots fine no problems. Good price.
