Rio Royal Buck Low Recoil 12 Gauge 00 Buck 2¾” 9-Pellet 1200 FPS – 5 Rounds

Rio Royal Buck Low Recoil 12 Gauge 00 Buck 2¾” 9-Pellet 1200 FPS – 5 Rounds is a smooth-shooting buckshot load designed for dependable performance, manageable recoil, and confident real-world results.
If you want the proven effectiveness of 00 buckshot but prefer a more comfortable recoil impulse—especially for longer practice sessions—Rio Royal Buck Low Recoil is built for the job. It’s a classic 12-gauge 2¾-inch buckshot configuration that delivers solid terminal performance while helping reduce shooter fatigue and improve follow-up shot control.

Each shell is loaded with nine pellets of 00 lead buckshot and drives them at 1,200 feet per second. That combination provides effective close-range coverage and reliable energy for practical buckshot use, while the low-recoil design helps keep the shotgun easier to manage—whether you’re patterning your gun, training regularly, or preparing a defensive shotgun that multiple family members may need to handle confidently.

From deer hunting at practical distances to other lawful applications where buckshot is appropriate, Rio’s Royal Buck line is built to provide consistent performance and strong knockdown capability. If comfort matters as much as effectiveness, this low-recoil 00 buck load is a smart, reliable choice.
