Hornady American Whitetail 12 Gauge 2-3/4" 325 Grain Interlock HP Sabot Slug - Box of 5

The Hornady American Whitetail 12 gauge 2-3/4" 325 grain Interlock HP sabot slug is purpose-built for rifled shotgun barrels and serious whitetail hunters who demand accuracy and terminal performance at extended range. Unlike traditional smooth-bore slugs, this sabot slug pairs a 325 grain Hornady InterLock bullet with a rigid polycarbonate sabot to deliver consistent accuracy and reliable expansion on game. If you're running a rifled barrel and want a slug that'll reach out to 200+ yards with confidence, this is the load that bridges the gap between shotgun and rifle performance.

The InterLock design features a hollow point, serrated construction that initiates rapid expansion on impact—critical for ethical, clean kills on whitetail-sized game. The tough lead alloy core and the slug's construction are engineered to handle the velocity and forces of modern shotgun ballistics without premature failure or deflection. The sabot itself serves double duty: it protects the slug during the firing sequence and ensures the round maintains its intended trajectory downrange, eliminating the accuracy wobble you get with loose-fitting slugs rattling down a barrel.

Loaded to 1,600 feet per second, this is a full-power hunting load—not a reduced-recoil round. The velocity and bullet construction combine to give you reliable, devastating expansion inside effective hunting range. American Whitetail ammunition is engineered by hunters, for hunters, and it shows in the attention to detail on every round in the box of five.
