Description
The Fiocchi 12GA 2 3/4″ – 7/8oz 9 Pel Nickpltlead 00BK is another type of shotgun ammunition produced by Fiocchi Ammunition.
The “12GA” refers to the gauge of the shotgun, with 12 gauge being a common size for shotguns. “2 3/4″” refers to the length of the shotgun shell, with 2 3/4 inches being a standard length for shotgun shells.
The “7/8oz” refers to the weight of the shot, with 7/8 of an ounce being a relatively light load. “9 Pel” means that the shell contains 9 pellets of shot. “Nickpltlead” refers to the composition of the shot, which is a combination of nickel-plated lead pellets. “00BK” refers to the size of the pellets, which are double-aught buckshot.
Double-aught buckshot is a popular choice for self-defense, as it delivers a large amount of stopping power at close range. The nickel plating on the lead pellets helps to reduce deformation and improve penetration, while the relatively light load and smaller number of pellets help to reduce recoil and increase accuracy.
