Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What makes #1 buckshot different from #00 buckshot?

Q: Is Winchester AutoBuck suitable for home defense?
A: Yes, its reliable cycling in semi-autos and tight patterning make it ideal for defensive use. The 1325 FPS velocity ensures effective stopping power at close to medium ranges, but always pattern your shotgun to confirm performance.
Q: Will this ammo work in my semi-automatic shotgun?
A: Absolutely—Winchester designed AutoBuck specifically for reliable function in most semi-auto shotguns, thanks to copper-plated shot that reduces fouling and promotes consistent ejection.
