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

Federal Premium Vital-Shok Low Recoil 12 gauge 2-3/4" slugs combine reduced felt recoil with genuine accuracy improvements—a practical choice for hunters working a smoothbore or pump gun who want manageable kick without sacrificing terminal performance. The TruBall system uses a plastic ball between the wad and rifled slug to stabilize the projectile's exit from the barrel, delivering repeatable accuracy that rivals what you'd expect from a rifled barrel shotgun.

These 1 oz hollow point slugs are engineered for consistency. The TruBall design locks components together during firing, then promotes clean separation after the slug clears the muzzle—eliminating the wobble and yaw that drag down accuracy in traditional slug loads. Federal's testing shows groups as tight as 1.4 inches at 50 yards, which translates to confident placement on deer-sized game at typical hunting ranges.

Low recoil shotgun loads matter if you're shooting multiple rounds for sight-in, practicing at the range, or simply want to stay on target through follow-up shots. The reduced impulse doesn't shortchange downrange energy; these slugs deliver the stopping power you expect from Federal's Vital-Shok line. Each box contains 5 rounds, enough for hunting season prep and range validation before you head into the field.

Frequently Asked Questions

What shotguns work with Federal TruBall Low Recoil slugs?

These 12 gauge 2-3/4" slugs are designed for smoothbore and rifled barrel shotguns chambered in 12 gauge. Always check your shotgun's owner manual to confirm it accepts 2-3/4" ammunition, and use the choke tube or barrel setup recommended by the manufacturer.

How accurate are these slugs compared to standard shotgun slugs?

The TruBall system's plastic ball separator stabilizes slug exit from smoothbore barrels, allowing for groups as tight as 1.4 inches at 50 yards in testing. Your real-world accuracy depends on your shotgun's condition, your shooting technique, and the ammunition lot—but this design is engineered to maximize what a smoothbore can deliver.

Will low recoil load affect my hunting or range performance?

Low recoil loads preserve downrange energy while reducing felt kick, making them practical for extended range sessions, sight-in work, or hunters sensitive to recoil. For hunting deer at typical distances, the 1 oz hollow point slug carries sufficient force. If you're hunting at longer ranges or larger game, consult ballistic tables or a knowledgeable hunter in your region.
