Remington Ultimate Defense Buckshot ammunition is made specifically for home defense to deliver dense devastating patterns at shorter ranges. They are loaded with either the standard 9 pellets or 8 pellets for a reduced more manageable recoil. These rounds are engineered for short range, tight, effective patterns in smooth bore defensive shotguns. When the stakes are high and you need one-shot-confidence, Remington's Ultimate Defense Buckshot ammunition is the clear choice.
