OK, I've never shot anything but bird shot before, but I picked up a couple of boxes of buck shot at Concord yesterday and went to the range with a Winchester 1200 Defender.
The first ones I shot were Fiocchi 2 3/4 Reduced recoil 9 pellet 00 buck
I was expecting a huge slam but the recoil really wasn't bad at all.
Then I switched to Federal Personal Defense Low Recoil 1 1/4 oz shot, 2 shot, (whatever that means)
Bam!!...that was painful. Now, my question is.....how come? Why was that stuff more powerful than the 00 buck?
Thanks
