The Federal Premium Vital-Shok 12 gauge 2-3/4" Trophy Copper sabot slug is built for rifled-barrel shotguns and delivers rifle-like accuracy out to 200 yards—a serious step up if you're hunting with a slug gun and want to extend your effective range. This 300-grain lead-free round uses Federal's match-grade primers and clean-burning propellant for reliable, consistent performance across the board. The two-part sabot design keeps that heavy copper projectile stable and on target, while the polymer tip and streamlined profile squeeze every bit of velocity and energy downrange.
What makes the Trophy Copper stand out is the geometry: a deep, externally skived nose cavity engineered for superior expansion on game. You're not just slinging a chunk of lead; this is a purpose-built hunting projectile designed to deliver energy transfer when it matters. Federal's attention to powder consistency and primer inspection means you get the same ballistics shot to shot—no surprises at the moment of truth.
This is a premium offering in a compact five-round box, so you get what you pay for: ammunition that respects both your gun and your quarry. Whether you're pursuing deer or hog in your home territory or pushing distance on public land, a Trophy Copper slug through a good rifled barrel gives you the accuracy and terminal performance to be confident in your shot.
