12 GAUGE NOBELSPORT LOW RECOIL 2-3/4" 9 PELLETS 00 BUCKSHOT (250 ROUNDS)
It’s not called “kick” because people enjoy it. Recoil won’t ruin a long stretch of target shooting, but it can make it less comfortable. Recoil’s also not helpful during a home invasion, when it can jerk the muzzle off target with each shot.Why are we bringing all of this up? Because it underscores what’s special about this Italian-made 12 Gauge shotgun ammunition. It’s low recoil. It shoots more comfortably. It makes it easier to maintain aim on the target as well, which is of especial benefit if the “target” is a deadly assailant.
This shell has a full nine-pellet payload of 00 buckshot; same as many law enforcement rounds. It reduces recoil by virtue of its cushioned plastic wad, as well as its comparably low 1,200 fps muzzle velocity.
Is a low-recoil shell weaker than usual? By design, yes. But you’re still talking about ~1-1/8 ounces of 1/3” diameter lead balls cruising out of the barrel at supersonic velocity (3 dram equivalent). Counted all together, the 00 buck has about 4-1/2 times the muzzle energy of a 9mm. Whether that neutralizes the threat or not depends entirely on the shooter.

Posted onI recognized the brand but didn't remember why till I looked in my box of primers. I've been reloading with NSI for years. My shotguns go bang every time. Be it semi auto or single shot.

Posted onThe round is fantastic! Low recoil and reliable. One complaint is that it is not really 2 3/4". I used it with my Keltec KSG. Regular 2 3/4 Federal Birdshot I can fit the full 7 rounds per tube. With this ammo I was only able to fit 6. It is slightly longer than the standard 2 3/4" rounds but I would still buy it again. Just a little FYI.

Good ammo, low recoil
How quickly did your order arrive? How likely are you to recommend this product to a friend?
Posted onCompared these with the Fiocchi low recoil 00 buck. Both contain 9 pellets. Shot about 50 shells each through my 12 gauge Mossberg. These kick a bit more due to slightly higher velocity and differences in wad design, but overall still comfortable to shoot compared to the full twelve pellet 00 buck. It does not throw off the aim as much compared to full powered 00 buck so follow up shots are easier to make. These cost a bit less per shell than the Fiocchis, which I guess could be due to the higher cost of wad material in the Fiocchi low recoil shells (they have some sort of fancy honeycomb wad). So it's a trade off - I would say if you are looking for 00 buck with less recoil, go for the Fiocchi, but if you are looking for better value per shell then go for these.
AmmoMan.com stocks ammo from more than a dozen brands, from Winchester ammunition and other major U.S. manufacturers to imported steel-cased options. Match an ammo brand to caliber, budget, and use case below, then shop the in-stock selection. Every listing shows the regular price and the unit price (cost per round), so it's easy to compare brands before checkout. Orders over $99 ship free, and returning customers earn rewards on every order, whether buying a single box or stocking up in bulk.
How to Choose an Ammo Brand
Match the Brand to Your Caliber
Not every brand makes every caliber. Winchester and Federal cover the widest range: pistol, rifle, rimfire, and shotgun. Wolf and Tula run steel-cased rifle ammo in 7.62x39 and 5.45x39 at a lower cost per round. Speer and Hornady are the go-to names for defensive handgun loads. Start on the caliber page for the specific firearm, then compare which brands are in stock and at what price per round.
AmmoMan.com breaks stock down by caliber as well as by brand. Shoppers who already know what they're loading can go straight to that caliber's page and compare brands there: 9mm ammo, 10mm ammo, 40 S&W ammo, 45 ACP ammo, 223/5.56 ammo, 308 ammo, 7.62x39 ammo, and 300 Blackout ammo each list current stock and price per round across every brand carried in that caliber. Coming back the other way works too. A shooter who likes a brand's 9mm load can check this page to see whether that same brand also makes ammo for their rifle.
Match the Brand to Your Use Case
Range and training ammo is a cost-per-round game. Wolf, Magtech, and PMC are the common picks for high-volume shooting and sport shooting leagues that go through a case at a time. Personal defense and duty ammo is judged on terminal performance instead: Federal HST, Speer Gold Dot, and Hornady Critical Defense are the names that show up most in that category. Hunting ammo depends on the game and the caliber, with Federal, Winchester, and Hornady all running dedicated hunting lines. Precision and competition shooting runs on a different standard: round-to-round consistency matters more than price per round. Black Hills built its reputation on match-grade accuracy, and Winchester's newer Supreme Long Range line targets that same long-distance crowd. Once a brand fits the caliber and budget, check current stock before checkout, since availability shifts often.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the most reliable ammo brand?
Reliability depends on caliber and application. For personal defense, Federal, Speer, and Hornady all have strong track records in law enforcement testing. For range training, PMC, Magtech, and Winchester White Box run consistently across a wide range of firearms, from sport shooting leagues to weekend range trips.
Is foreign-made ammo as good as American-made ammo?
Foreign manufacturers like Sellier & Bellot, Fiocchi, Magtech, and Prvi Partizan build to the same SAAMI or CIP pressure standards as American brands, and they're widely used for range training. Some shooters still prefer American-made brass-cased ammo for hunting and personal defense. U.S. and other NATO forces even use ammo made by foreign brands like PMC in the Pacific.
What's the difference between steel-cased and brass-cased ammo brands?
Steel-cased ammo brands like Wolf and Tula cost less per round and hold up fine for high-volume range days, though steel cases don't reload as well as brass. Brass-cased ammo brands, including Federal, Winchester, PMC, and Hornady, cost more but run cleaner and stand up better to reloading. For personal defense or hunting, brass-cased ammo is the safer default. For a weekend at the range, steel-cased ammo saves money without giving up much.
Which brands are best for buying in bulk?
Case-quantity pricing matters most for range and training rounds fired by the hundreds, and Wolf, Tula, PMC, and Magtech all price down as quantity goes up. Orders over $99 ship free no matter which brands end up in the cart, so combining brands into one order beats checking out separately. Manufacturers also run mail-in rebate promotions from time to time, so it can pay to check for a current rebate on a given brand before buying.
Does brand matter more than bullet type?
Bullet type, like FMJ, JHP, or soft point, usually matters more than brand for picking the right ammo for the job. Once the bullet type is set, the brand choice is really about reliability and price per round.
