FEDERAL PREMIUM FLITECONTROL - 12 GA - 2.75" - #00 BUCK - 9 PEL - 5 RDS/BOX
Federal Premium FliteControl 12-gauge buckshot delivers match-grade pattern consistency that serious hunters and home defenders have trusted for decades, combining copper-plated 00 Buck pellets with Federal's revolutionary wad technology for downrange performance that sets the standard in shotgun ammunition.
- FliteControl wad system produces dramatically tighter patterns at extended ranges
- Copper-plated 00 Buck pellets resist deformation for more uniform, consistent impacts
- Buffered payload prevents pellet-on-pellet deformation inside the shell
- 9-pellet load delivers maximum energy transfer on large game and threats
- 2.75" shell fits the widest range of standard 12-gauge shotguns
- Trusted by law enforcement and hunters for reliable, repeatable performance
Who This Is For
Federal Premium FliteControl 00 Buck is purpose-built for whitetail hunters, wild hog hunters, and home defenders who demand the tightest possible patterns from their 12-gauge shotgun. If you've ever been frustrated by wide, inconsistent spreads from standard buckshot, this load is the upgrade that closes the gap — literally. It's equally at home in a hunting blind at 40 yards as it is in a defensive pump gun where every pellet's placement matters.

Frequently Asked Questions
What makes FliteControl different from standard buckshot wads?
Federal's FliteControl wad stays with the shot column longer after leaving the muzzle, controlling the spread before releasing the pellets at a more consistent point downrange. This results in patterns that can be 50% tighter than conventional buckshot loads at the same distance — a critical advantage whether you're shooting at a whitetail at 35 yards or stopping a threat inside the home.
Is this load compatible with my shotgun's choke?
Federal FliteControl loads are optimized to pattern best through improved cylinder (IC) or cylinder bore chokes. Tighter chokes — such as modified or full — can actually disrupt the FliteControl wad's release and open up patterns rather than tighten them. Always pattern-test your specific shotgun and choke combination to verify performance before hunting or defensive use.
Can I use this ammunition for both hunting and home defense?
Absolutely. The 9-pellet #00 Buck load is one of the most versatile 12-gauge configurations available. For hunting, it delivers enough energy to ethically take deer and feral hogs at typical shotgun ranges. For home defense, the tight FliteControl pattern helps ensure pellets stay on target and reduces the risk of stray projectiles — making it a top recommendation among defensive shooting instructors and law enforcement professionals.
