Fiocchi "Defense Dynamics" low brass 00 buck? Anyone use this stuff before?

[JelloStorm]

I recently bought a Benelli M4 on an impulse buy and ordered 250 rounds of Winchester Super X 00 buck and it's the high brass I'm always used to seeing. Then I seen a deal for this Fiocchi Defense Dynamics 9 pellet 00 buck. It comes in at 1250 fps, but uses 8mm brass according to their website. The Winchester is 1325 fps so not that much difference like low-recoil loads...

But the Fiocchi has a translucent case and the powder clearly exceeds the 8mm brass. I know high brass only really mattered when cases were either paper or shittier in past times. Is this some kind of material savings thing or are these loads like somewhere in the middle of full power and low recoil buckshot??

Interested to know if anyone has used these before? If they won't cycle the Benelli I still have a pump so no real loss just wondering. I will note that literally every picture of this shit shows high brass on google, unless you put in the product code 12EX9P and you find one amongst the rest..

Thanks for the help!

Edit: I'll post a picture of it.

I've shot a bunch of this stuff. Honestly don't recall if I tried it in the M4, pretty sure I've shot it in the M2 a little (and a couple pump guns).
Compared to Remington standard 00 Buck it has noticeably less recoil. I originally purchased it and some Rem to have on hand for a large shotgun match, to sell to competitors who failed to notice there was a buckshot stage during registration. (plenty did) I only sold the Fiocchi to pump gun guys because I didn't trust it functioning in random semi autos.

I can't speak to the "Defense Dynamics" ones, but these are some of the poorest patterning buck loads I've tried.

It is good stuff. Pretty much "Low Recoil" buck. I shot several flats of it over the years in 3-gun. But now days slug and buck isnt used very much.

I bought 500 rounds when PSA had them for cheap/free shipping. I put a box through my KS7 and it’s acceptable stuff with comfortable recoil. It’s definitely not Federal FlightControl, but it holds a small enough group on 60% IPSC steel center mass that I would use it anywhere inside 15 yards. Saw some complaints online that it’s not actually 9-pellet 00. I think I remember the complaints saying they were smaller caliber pellets, maybe actually 0 or #1? For the price, I didn’t care.
