As an individual with quite a few number of years behind me, shooting low recoil 12ga 00 buckshot is much more comfortable on my shoulder than your typical buckshot load. Although I've been very satisfied with Federal's low recoil 00 buckshot, I continue looking for alternatives. Hense, Hornady's TAP reduced recoil 12ga OO buckshot. I had reservations as to whether they would cycle my FN SLP semi-auto, but was still willing to try them out. Unfortunately, I was right. They do not have enough power to cycle the bolt, despite the low power piston installed in the rifle. But all is well as I will use them in my pump rifle. With respect to the rounds themselves, they definitely exhibit reduced recoil while maintaining an excellent spread pattern on an 18x30 inch range target at 20 yds. Although this is in no way a scientific evaluation, I would not hesitate to use or recommend Hornady TAP 12ga 00 buck for self defense. An excellent choice.

I run these in my beretta 1301. I’m sure many semi autos can’t run these but the beretta does with zero problems and feels like your running 1 oz bird shot. Super light recoil

I like the 12 gauge TAP ammo. Shoots accurate, low recoil. Perfect ammo for the shockwave shotguns.
