Federal Power-Shok Ammunition 16 Gauge 2-3/4" 4/5 oz Hollow Point Rifled Slug Box of 5

Federal Power-Shok 16 gauge rifled slugs are a proven choice for hunters running smoothbore shotguns looking to extend effective range and deliver reliable knockdown power. These 2-3/4" slugs are loaded with a 4/5 oz hollowpoint projectile engineered to expand on impact, making them suited for deer-sized game and medium-range hunting applications where a smoothbore barrel is your tool.

The rifled slug design—distinct from a rifled barrel—is optimized to perform well through standard smoothbore shotgun barrels. Federal built these rounds to group consistently out to 100 yards, giving you the precision you need to place shots accurately in the field. If you're pairing these with a TruBall recoil reducer or similar shot control accessories, you'll see tighter groups and more predictable handling.

Each box contains 5 rounds, so you're stocking up for a hunt or range session without excessive volume. Federal's Power-Shok line has earned its reputation for delivering the performance hunters expect: consistent ballistics, solid expansion, and reliable function across a range of smoothbore shotgun platforms.
