Hrndy 20ga Slug 250 Ftx Lite 5/100

The Hornady 20 Gauge Custom Lite 250 FTX Slug ammunition delivers reduced recoil and muzzle blast while maintaining lethal 20-gauge slugshot performance. Designed for shooters who prioritize shot control without sacrificing stopping power, this 2.75-inch, 250-grain load achieves 1,600 feet per second—a velocity optimized for effective slug trajectory at defensive and hunting ranges while minimizing shooter fatigue during extended practice or duty work.

The Lite line uses reduced powder charges and engineered bullet design to cut recoil compared to standard pressure loads, making this 20-gauge slug round accessible to operators, trainers, and civilians with lower shoulder impact tolerance. The monolithic FTX bullet construction provides reliable expansion and penetration characteristics necessary for duty and field applications. At 1,600 fps, ballistics remain consistent enough for slugshot accuracy to combat distance, though velocity reduction requires sight adjustment compared to standard magnum loads. The compact 5-round packaging per box suits both practice protocols and field carry configurations.

This load is favored by law enforcement agencies conducting shotgun transition training, experienced hunters managing recoil fatigue over extended seasons, and female and youth shooters developing 20-gauge slugshot competency without excessive impulse. The Custom Lite platform bridges the gap between manageable recoil and sufficient terminal performance for short-to-medium range applications where 20-gauge slug velocity matters. Because reduced recoil affects point-of-impact, shooters should verify zero at intended shooting distance before relying on this ammunition for duty or field deployment.
