Product Info for Fiocchi BuckshotHiVlcty 12ga 2.75" Sz00BK 12HV00BK

The Fiocchi Exacta line of shotshells were designed specifically for hunting large targets like buck and deer. These nickel-plated buckshot rounds feature Fiocchi's unique nickel-plated pellets which choke together for tighter more consistent shot patterns that are ideal for both hunting and home defense. In addition to delivering tighter shot patterns on a more consistent basis these buckshot shells are not weighed down by any buffers or other unnecessary additions. Simply put the Fiocchi Exacta line of Nickel-Plated Buckshot shells was designed to meet your heavy-duty shotgun requirements with no mess and no fuss.image
