Sellier & Bellot SB410SDA Self Defense 410 Gauge 2.50" 000 Buck Shot - 15 Pellets, 1/2 oz, 987 fps (25 Bx/20 Cs)

The Sellier & Bellot SB410SDA is a 410 gauge shotgun round built for self-defense with a payload of 15 pellets of 000 buckshot per shot. Loaded to 987 fps, this ammunition delivers the stopping potential of larger buckshot in the lighter recoil package the .410 is known for. Each round measures 2.50" and carries half an ounce of shot, making it a practical choice for home defense scenarios where barrier penetration and target stopping are priorities, or for hunters who prefer the .410's handling and lower report.

Sellier & Bellot has been manufacturing ammunition since 1886, and their buckshot loads are trusted across North America for hunting and defense applications. This particular load pairs larger 000 buck pellets—the biggest buckshot diameter available—with the .410's natural advantages: less felt recoil than 12 or 20 gauge, easier target acquisition on follow-up shots, and a platform that many shooters find more comfortable for extended practice or home defense readiness.

The 2.50" shell length ensures compatibility with standard .410 shotguns. Whether you're setting up a home defense battery or stocking .410 ammunition you trust, the SB410SDA delivers known-brand reliability and a ballistically serious payload in a round that recoils like the .410 you know how to shoot.
