Most Helpful Positive Review Hornady Black 00 buck
Full power buckshot that holds tight patterns in cylinder chokes. Great for hunting and home defense. Functions in all semi-automatics. Same as Critical Defense. Eight pellet buckshot seems to pattern better than nine pellet buckshot.

Hornady Black or Critical Defense Buckshot

by BK, Verified Owner from NE, United States Written on March 20, 2025
I’ve hunted hogs out of moving vehicles for a lot of years and tried a lot of different buckshot - this stuff hits different! Stuff patterns great out of my bennelli m4 with a cylinder choke and flat puts them down. Combination of velocity, wad, etc is bad medicine on swine - will be on anything else you’re needing buckshot for too. Spendy but you get what you pay for here.
Pros:
  • Efficacy
Cons:
  • price
Best Used for:
  • Anything you want really dead for sure
