Federal Premium Vital-Shok Ammunition 12 Gauge 2-3/4" 1 oz TruBall Hollow Point Rifled Slug Box of 5

The Federal Premium Vital-Shok 12 Gauge 2-3/4" 1 oz TruBall HP Rifled Slug is built for shotgunners who want dependable accuracy and consistent performance out of a smoothbore barrel. These slugs feature Federal's TruBall design—a plastic ball positioned between the wad and slug that centers the projectile in your bore, reducing drift and improving shot-to-shot consistency. If you hunt deer with a smoothbore or run a tactical shotgun for home defense or sport, these slugs deliver the kind of no-nonsense performance that comes from a name you can trust.

Each round in this five-round box is loaded to Federal's premium standards. The 1-ounce slug mass strikes a practical balance between energy delivery and recoil, making these rounds comfortable to shoot through a full hunting day or extended range session. The TruBall technology matters more than marketing—it's a genuine mechanical advantage that translates to tighter groups and more predictable point-of-impact, especially important when your shot has to count.

Whether you're sighting in a new shotgun, working up a hunting load for the season, or stocking your cabinet with reliable ammunition, a box of five gives you enough to verify performance and practice before the moment it matters. Federal Vital-Shok slugs have earned their reputation in the field and at the range.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will these slugs work in my smoothbore shotgun?

Yes. The TruBall HP Rifled Slugs are designed specifically for smoothbore shotguns. The plastic ball between the wad and slug centers the projectile in your barrel, which is especially important in a smoothbore where there are no rifling grooves to stabilize the slug.

What's the difference between TruBall slugs and a standard rifled slug?

The TruBall design uses a plastic ball positioned ahead of the slug to keep it centered in your bore. This reduces contact between the slug and barrel walls, which improves accuracy and consistency compared to traditional rifled slugs that may contact the bore unevenly.

Can I use these in a rifled barrel shotgun?

These are designed for smoothbore shotguns. For use in rifled shotgun barrels, consult Federal's ammunition specifications or contact their customer service to verify compatibility with your specific gun.

How many rounds come in a box?

This is a box of five rounds.
