12 GAUGE FEDERAL FREIGHT TRAIN COPPER 3" 300 GRAIN SABOT SLUG (5 ROUNDS)

Listen. It’s just not practical to hire product description writers who have used every type of firearm and every type of ammo to hunt every kind of animal. I have not personally harvested deer, black bear or boar using a 12 Gauge rifled bore shotgun and lead-free sabot slug ammo. But you know what? I’ve shot a lot of stuff, so I can tell Federal Premium’s Freight Train Copper series ammunition is the good stuff.

This shell is loaded with a solid copper slug (a sabot slug, meaning it’s no good for smoothbore shotguns). It’s got a big polymer tip. It’s been machined into an aerodynamic form. It’s backed by Federal’s high-quality powder and plastic sabot. It’s got everything it needs to group 4” at 200 yards. Zero at 100 yards and the 0.187 G1 BC slug will arrive with 1,745 ft lbs energy and then drop -1.7” at 125.

A copper projectile may cost more, but its terminal ballistics are worth it – especially if you want to eat meat that hasn’t touched toxic lead. The rugged Freight Train Copper slug exhibits great weight retention, and tunnels deeply through dense flesh because of it. And once its externally skived nose cavity and rigid polymer tip have kicked into action, the slug folds out six broad petals that wreak absolute havoc on flesh.
