Federal Premium Vital-Shok Ammunition 20 Gauge 2-3/4" 3/4 oz TruBall Hollow Point Rifled Slug Box of 5

Federal Premium Vital-Shok 20 gauge rifled slugs combine proven 20-gauge ballistics with a design engineered for consistent accuracy out of smoothbore shotguns. Each 2-3/4" shell fires a 3/4 oz hollow point slug backed by Federal's TruBall technology—a plastic ball positioned between the wad and slug that centers the projectile in your bore as it travels downrange. For hunters and shooters running smoothbore shotguns, this approach translates to tighter groups and more reliable performance than traditional slug loads, whether you're working deer country or shooting slugs at the range.

The 20-gauge platform makes these shells easy to shoot all day without excessive recoil, a real advantage when you're glassing from a stand or running multiple shots at the range. Federal Premium's long-running reputation in ammunition quality backs this load, and the TruBall hollow point is designed to deliver consistent expansion and energy transfer on game-sized targets. A box of five gives you what you need for a serious hunting trip or a dedicated practice session.

If your smoothbore is your primary slug gun and you want ammunition that shows up consistently, Vital-Shok TruBall slugs are built to reward precision shooting without the weight or recoil penalty of 12-gauge magnums. They represent a smart middle ground between raw power and shootability.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will Federal Vital-Shok TruBall slugs work in my smoothbore 20-gauge shotgun?

Yes. These slugs are engineered specifically for smoothbore shotguns. The TruBall plastic ball centers the slug in the bore to improve accuracy out of smoothbore barrels.

What's the difference between the TruBall design and other rifled slugs?

The TruBall technology places a plastic ball between the wad and slug. This ball keeps the slug centered in your barrel during the firing sequence, which helps reduce contact with the barrel walls and can improve accuracy compared to traditional slugs that may not be centered consistently.

Can I use 20-gauge slugs in a 12-gauge shotgun?

No. You must use ammunition that matches your shotgun's gauge. Only use 20-gauge shells in shotguns chambered for 20 gauge.

How many rounds come in a box?

Each box contains 5 shells.
