The Winchester Defender 12 Gauge 2-3/4" 9 Pellets #00 Buckshot 100/Box is purpose-built defensive shotgun ammunition that balances hard-hitting performance with controllable recoil. Each 2-3/4 inch shell is loaded with nine copper plated 00 buck pellets and paired with an engineered buckshot wad to promote tight, consistent patterns when it matters most.

This load is optimized for personal protection and home protection, delivering a listed muzzle velocity of 1,145 fps for effective energy transfer while remaining manageable in defensive shotguns. The buffered payload and copper plated buckshot help reduce deformation and improve penetration and pattern uniformity.
