Federal Premium Vital-Shok Ammunition 12 Gauge 3" 300 Grain Trophy Copper Tipped Sabot Slug Lead-Free Box of 5

Federal Premium Vital-Shok 12 gauge 3" sabot slugs deliver the precision and stopping power that serious deer hunters demand from a shotgun round. Built on Federal's reputation for consistent, clean-burning powders and quality primers, these lead-free Trophy Copper slugs are engineered for rifled-barrel shotguns where accuracy and energy downrange matter most. At 2000 fps muzzle velocity, the 300-grain copper slug carries the momentum to drop game cleanly while the two-part sabot design keeps the projectile stable and on target out to 200 yards—distances that used to be rifle territory.

The Trophy Copper design centers on a deep, externally skived nose cavity that expands reliably on impact, converting velocity into decisive wound channels. A polymer tip and streamlined profile maximize downrange velocity and retained energy, so you're not losing foot-pounds of knockdown power the way you would with traditional lead slugs. For hunters running modern rifled barrels, these rounds represent the sweet spot between shotgun handling and rifle-like performance—no apologies, no compromises.

This box contains 5 rounds, packaged in Federal's standard ammunition format. Lead-free construction makes these compliant with regulations in restricted areas, so you can hunt where lead ammunition is prohibited. Whether you're working a food plot in December or hunting tight timber, Federal Premium Vital-Shok slugs give you the accuracy and terminal performance to make the first shot count.
