When you need reliable patterns from 12 gauge 00 buckshot at self-defense distances, the Panzer Defense Lequian load puts 9 lead pellets downrange at 1350 fps from 2-3/4″ shells. Panzer Defense manufactures these loads to match the performance standards of their tactical shotgun platforms — non-corrosive boxer primers, reloadable hulls, and consistent velocity across the case. This is a straightforward defensive buckshot round for smooth-bore shotguns in home defense, vehicle defense, or close-quarters roles where you need immediate stopping power inside 25 yards.
Performance at a Glance
Each 2-3/4″ hull carries 9 pellets of #00 buck — the industry standard for law enforcement and home defense shotgun loads. At 1350 fps muzzle velocity, these pellets maintain energy through typical interior walls and retain pattern cohesion at living-room distances. Panzer Defense uses non-buffered lead pellets, which means you’ll see moderate pattern spread — acceptable for defensive scenarios where over-penetration is a concern, but tight enough to keep all pellets on a torso-sized target at 10-15 yards. Boxer primers allow reloading if you save your hulls; the shells are not corrosive and require no immediate cleaning ritual after range work.

Safe Handling & Compliance
Federal law requires purchasers to be at least 18 years old for rifle and shotgun ammunition, and at least 21 for handgun ammunition.

Store ammunition in a cool, dry location away from heat sources and out of reach of unauthorized users.
- Observe the four rules of firearms safety at all times — treat every gun as if it is loaded, never point at anything you are not willing to destroy, keep your finger off the trigger until ready to fire, and identify your target and what is beyond it.
- Verify that your state and local jurisdictions allow possession and use of buckshot ammunition — some municipalities restrict buckshot for hunting or self-defense purposes.
- This product contains lead, a chemical known to the State of California to cause cancer and reproductive harm (Prop 65). Wash hands after handling ammunition and avoid inhaling residue at indoor ranges.
