Hornady American Gunner 12 Gauge 2-3/4" Reduced Recoil 1 oz Rifled Slug Ammo - Box of 5

The Hornady American Gunner 12 Gauge 2-3/4" Reduced Recoil 1 oz Rifled Slug Ammo is purpose-built for hunters and shooters who want manageable recoil without sacrificing slug performance. This reduced-recoil shotgun ammunition delivers a 1-ounce lead alloy slug designed to work smoothly through standard smooth bore barrels, making it a practical choice for deer hunting, home defense, or slug-specific range work. The compression-style wad system does double duty: it absorbs recoil energy to reduce felt kick and protects the slug during ignition, helping maintain consistent velocities downrange so your shot placement stays true.

What sets this load apart is Hornady's focus on shooter comfort without compromise. Reduced-recoil slugs are a smart call if you're sensitive to 12-gauge kick, shooting lighter or aging firearms, or simply want to shoot more rounds with less punishment. The wad design also helps seal the bore, which translates to more uniform ballistics from shot to shot—important when precision matters on game.

Each box contains 5 rounds, so you get enough to pattern your shotgun, work up loads, or stock a few boxes for the season. American Gunner ammunition is engineered to deliver reliable, honest performance at a fair value—no marketing fluff, just solid brass and lead that shoots.
