12 GAUGE WINCHESTER DEFENDER 2-3/4" 1 OZ. SEGMENTED RIFLED SLUG (100 ROUNDS)

There are many 12 Gauge shells that would serve you well for home defense applications. But if you want one of the best, then you’ve just found it: Winchester Defender segmented rifled slugs!

You’re probably familiar with rifled slugs. They’re smoothbore shotgun projectiles, with grooves around their exteriors that premit safe passage through a choke tube. A single surly one-ounce chunk of lead like this is poised to deal massive damage – at very close range, its 2,450+ ft lbs of energy makes it even more powerful than the Army’s M4 carbine.

This slug has an extra terminal performance enhancing feature: programmed notching on its interior and its exterior. These notches force the slug to break apart into three pieces as it blasts through soft tissue. That means triple the wound channels, as well as a slightly reduced chance of overpenetration that could jeopardize innocent bystanders.

Winchester’s tube, wad, powder and primer are all high-quality enough to trust during a home defense scenario. This shell’s head is additionally black oxide coated, so rust and tarnishing will have a harder time taking hold while it’s in the magazine or its packaging.
