Federal Shorty Shotshell Ammunition 12 Gauge 1-3/4" 1 oz Rifled Slug Box of 10

Federal Shorty shotshell ammunition in 12 gauge offers a compact alternative for shooters who want full-power performance from a shorter shell. These 1-3/4" rifled slugs deliver 1 oz of projectile weight at 1200 fps muzzle velocity, making them suitable for slug hunting and range use where firearm length or recoil management matters. Shorty loads cycle reliably in modern semi-automatic and pump shotguns, though you should verify your gun's manual for any specific recommendations on short-shell compatibility.

What sets Shorty shells apart is their compact footprint without sacrificing the energy and accuracy profiles that full-size 2-3/4" loads deliver. For hunters working dense brush, shooters in tight blinds, or anyone looking to reduce felt recoil and gun maneuverability, the shorter case means faster handling and easier loading. The rifled slug design provides accuracy and penetration for medium-range hunting scenarios where precision matters.

Packaged in convenient 10-round boxes, Federal Shorty rifled slugs are a practical choice for slug season, defensive applications, or dedicated slug-gun practice. Keep in mind that short-shell ammunition requires a firearm chambered or proven compatible with 1-3/4" loads—always consult your shotgun manufacturer before using ammunition shorter than the gun was designed for.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will Federal Shorty shells work in my shotgun?

Shorty 1-3/4" shells are shorter than standard 2-3/4" ammunition. Check your shotgun's manual to confirm it is rated for short-shell use, or contact the manufacturer. Not all guns are designed to cycle or feed shorter loads reliably.

What is the advantage of a shorter shotshell?

The 1-3/4" length offers faster handling and loading compared to full-length shells, plus reduced recoil for some shooters. Despite the compact size, these rifled slugs deliver energy and accuracy similar to standard-length slug loads.

Can I use these for hunting?

Yes. The 1 oz rifled slug at 1200 fps provides the accuracy and penetration needed for slug hunting. Confirm your firearm and local hunting regulations support slug ammunition before use.

How many rounds are in a box?

Each box contains 10 shells, making them convenient for range sessions, hunting trips, or stocking your ammunition supply.
