Hrndy 12ga Rifled Slug 1oz Aw 5/100

The Hornady 12ga Rifled Slug 1oz American Whitetail ammunition is purpose-built for smooth-bore shotgun barrels and delivers consistent, hard-hitting performance in the field. Each box contains 5 rounds loaded with a 1-ounce foster-style rifled slug driven to 1,600 feet per second, providing the kinetic energy and accuracy required for medium-range hunting and tactical applications where slug performance matters.

This 2.75-inch shell features a hollow-point slug design with a tough lead-alloy core engineered to expand on impact while maintaining structural integrity. The compression-style wad protects the slug during ignition and seals the bore to maximize velocity and consistency shot-to-shot. The 1,600 fps muzzle velocity is optimized for 12-gauge smooth-bore systems, balancing penetration, energy retention, and recoil management in a standard shotgun platform. Hornady's American Whitetail line has established itself as a reliable choice among hunters and users requiring dependable slug performance without premium pricing.

These rounds are suited for deer hunting, hog control, and general purpose shotgun applications where rifled slug ammunition is the standard choice. The 5-round box format makes this suitable for practice sessions, small game operations, or use as backup ammunition. Users deploying 12-gauge systems in non-rifled barrels will find this ammunition delivers the accuracy and energy needed for medium-range work, though performance characteristics remain consistent with conventional foster-style slug ballistics.

Hornady ammunition maintains strict quality control across all production runs, and this product carries the brand's reputation for consistency. The 12-gauge rifled slug category itself provides superior accuracy compared to buckshot or birdshot at distance, making slug loads the standard for precision shotgun work in hunting, law enforcement training, and tactical scenarios where barrel length or choke restrictions demand a single-projectile solution.
