Looking at some Federal Tactical buckshot for HD, but it is described as OO, not 00. Is there a difference?

Just the type set on the machine that printed the 00's. Do you have a link to the exact ones your talking about or the Federal stock #?

Dude...you gotta get out more!!

Just joking of course...it is just the nut using the keyboard, entering the product ID/description.  Some people seem to have a brainfart when it comes to distinguishing 00 (numbers) from OO (letters).  It doesn't help that on virtually every keyboard in the world that 0 and O are right above/below each other, less than 1/4" apart.  In many instances where you have concerns, if you click on the product photo, you will see that the products are labels 00 on the box despite someone at ATG describing them as OO.

No differences...just bad typing.

ETA: Bad typing/spelling on my part...see, its contagious!

Question, is it supose to be zeros or letters? If its double "ought", isnt it double OO (letter O)?

Second question for the hive mind? Why is the term ought used? Googled it and couldnt find an answer.

The word "Aught"  means zero (0).   As in thirty aught six. (.30-06).
