Product Description
Federal Premium Rifled Slugs step up from the PowerShok line with a more refined lead formulation and tighter dimensional tolerances that translate to improved accuracy from a smoothbore or rifled barrel. The one-ounce hollow-base Foster slug exits at 1,600 fps and is capable of sub-4-inch groups at 50 yards from a fixed-breech single-shot or bolt-action shotgun, performance that surprises many shooters accustomed to thinking of slug guns as crude. The hollow-base design obturates into the bore, effectively sealing gas blow-by and providing a more consistent pressure curve shot to shot — the practical result is reduced velocity variation and tighter groups compared to solid-base competitor slugs. This load is a proven deer harvester at ranges where shot placement discipline matters more than ballistic coefficient, and the Premium brass-head hull tolerates multiple reloads for handloaders who push their shotshell presses hard in deer season. If you run a standard smooth-bore deer gun, this is the load to start with before spending money on a rifled barrel and sabot system.
