Winchester Copper Impact ammunition brings modern lead-free ballistics to 12-gauge shotgun hunting. Built around a solid copper projectile design, this 2-3/4" sabot slug is engineered for hunters who demand reliable expansion and deep penetration on medium to large game. Each box contains five rounds loaded to 1600 fps, striking a practical balance between energy and recoil management in a gun you'll actually shoot straight.
The Copper Extreme Point design is the heart of this load. Unlike traditional jacketed lead-core slugs, the all-copper construction expands upon impact while maintaining structural integrity through the target. That weight retention translates to deeper, more consistent energy transfer—exactly what separates a clean harvest from a wounded animal left to suffer. For hunters in lead-free zones or those who simply prefer copper ammunition, Winchester engineered Copper Impact specifically to deliver the stopping power you'd expect from a slug gun.
Sabot slugs fire from smooth-bore barrels and rifled barrels alike, making this load versatile across most modern 12-gauge shotguns. The 1 oz payload is the working standard for slug hunting—heavy enough to carry serious energy downrange, but not so heavy that recoil becomes punishing during a long day afield. Whether you're hunting whitetail, hog, or other medium to large game at typical shotgun distances, Copper Impact gives you the terminal performance to anchor your shot.
