Pirro Reveals New Details About the WHCD Shooting And They’re Not Good

A shotgun’s buckshot load consists of several round lead pellets rather than a single conical bullet. While we don’t know the exact load of the recovered shotgun, a standard 12-gauge load typically contains 00 buckshot, which consists of nine round lead pellets measuring about .32 caliber each. Each shot releases nine .32 caliber lead balls downrange, and at the short distances typical of that venue, the pellets would have remained closely grouped.

This choice of weapon was not random for Cole Allen; he gave considerable thought to selecting his primary firearm.
