I just checked the Federal® website & they only offer 000, 00, & #4 Buck in 12ga. They do continue to offer the standard 12 pellet #1 Buck load in 16ga they always have. FWIW, back in the late 70's & early to mid 80's I was stationed in Virginia & hunted deer w/ Buckshot. #1 Buck was hands down THE BEST patterning load in 12ga. Back in the day, when #1 Buck was easy to come by; three loads were offered:
2¾" 16 pellets #1 Buck STD LOAD
2¾" 20 pellets #1 Buck MAG LOAD
3" 24 pellets #1 Buck MAG LOAD
Remington does still offer the standard 16 pellet load, #12B1 @ 1250fps. Winchester® offers two loads: the standard 16 pellet load @ 1250fps #XB121; and a 3" Mag load of 24 pellets @ 1040fps, #XB1231.
