20 Gauge 00 buckshot

[Chainsaw76]

I found nine boxes of 25 rd 00 buck Spartan brand (9ball) for about 12.00 per box at the Academy Sports in San Marcos, Texas for you folks that might be interested.

How do they get nine 00 buckshot in a 20 ga shell?
They won't normally stack right in a 20 ga shell, or even fit.

U.S. Size 00 buck should measure .330" in diameter.
And nine of them should weigh 484.2 grains.

Or over 1.1 ounce.

Cut one open and see what they really have in there.

While there is no binding 00B standard on the ammunition industry, folks tend to dislike serious deviaton from what is expected. SAAMI voluntary standards show a nominal diameter of .33" + .015" or .315" to .345".

That being said, Spartan has apparently corrected the situation for future 20 gauge ammo runs. The details of this marketing "error" are detailed here:
