Federal P209ft 20 3 Frgh Trn Slg 275 5/10

The Federal Premium 20 gauge 3" TruBall rifled slug load brings serious stopping power to hunters running a smooth-bore or rifled shotgun. Built around a 275-grain copper sabot slug, this ammunition is engineered for precision and terminal performance on medium game at ranges where slug hunting matters most. The FreightTrain copper projectile pairs with Federal's sabot design to achieve tight groups and consistent downrange energy, making it a dependable choice for deer and hog hunters who demand accuracy from their shotgun slug ammunition.

What sets these slugs apart is the combination of engineering and metallurgy. The streamlined copper construction and polymer-tipped nose keep velocity high downfield, while the sabot seats the projectile in the bore and separates cleanly at the muzzle—both critical for repeatable accuracy. The externally skived nose cavity opens reliably across a range of velocities, ensuring the slug does its job when it reaches the target. At a muzzle velocity of 1900 fps, you're working with a load that balances trajectory and stopping power without excessive recoil.

Federal built these to deliver sub-4-inch groups at 200 yards through rifled barrels—a standard most hunters will never need to reach, but a testament to the ammunition's precision. They're also compliant with lead-free requirements, important if you hunt where copper-only slugs are mandated. This is a 5-round box, practical for practice, hunting, or maintaining a ready supply.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will these rifled slugs work in my smooth-bore shotgun?

These are designed for use in rifled shotgun barrels. While some shooters load them in smooth-bore guns, you'll achieve the advertised accuracy and performance through a rifled barrel.

What's the difference between this and lead-based slug loads?

These are copper construction, making them compliant with lead-free ammunition requirements in many states and hunting areas. The copper FreightTrain design delivers the same kind of accuracy and expansion you'd expect from a premium slug load.

Are these suitable for deer hunting?

Yes, these are designed for medium game including deer, with a 275-grain copper projectile and aerodynamic nose design built for reliable expansion and stopping power at hunting ranges.

What's included in the box?

This is a 5-round box of Federal Premium 20 gauge 3" TruBall rifled slugs.
