Estate Ammunition 12 Gauge 2-3/4" 00 Buckshot 9 Pellets?

[Z1900]

A Gun Shop near me is selling Estate Ammunition 12 Gauge 2-3/4" 00 Buckshot 9 Pellets for $6.99 a 25 count box. Any one used it and should I load up?

At that price, I'd buy several boxes and check it out. May or may not be useful for hunting (poor patterning), but certainly fine for home defense.

Buy one box and check it out. If it's good ammo, go back and buy the amount you desire, if it's no good, your out only 6.99 and some tax change.

Midway has been running it on sale for a while now, I think $80 a case.

I have done some research on that ammo vs. other factory OO buck ammo. The consensus I came to after watching several videos was that it doesn't group as well as say Remington defensive OO buck but it will still get the job done. At the price they are selling it, it would be great to stock upon. It will also do well for a shotgun class.

I've shot the Estate 00 load, and it does great. I put 25rds through two shotguns, and it did just fine at 25yds.
I just bought another 25rd box a couple days ago...for $6.99.

Good stuff in my 870 .

It works well in my home defense shotgun and it's what I keep in the home as the bulk backup if I were ever to run out of premium 00 buck.

Plus shipping.

I stocked up on the estate brand for my "just in case ammo" like previously stated it doesn't pattern as well as higher premium brands I tested mine out on steel targets however scientific that can be considered. It will do the job for SD and can in a pinch fill in hunting needs if you hunt with buckshot.

Did just fine?

Details?

I don't have a 12 gauge, so I cannot speak to that exact product, but I have run 4-5 boxes of their target load through my 20 gauge and there hasn't been any problems. I didn't pattern it, but it took down all the clays where I did my part.

I've used it and thought it was good enough for what I shoot buckshot for. At 15 yards I get about a 15" spread out of an 18.5" cylinder bore 12 gage. Never tried it in an auto but no issues in two different 870 express shotguns. At the very least buy it just for practice ammo. It's certainly cheap enough.
