Description
If you're running a 10 gauge, you already know the power potential. This Federal Power-Shok load puts that advantage to work with a serious 1-3/4 ounce rifled slug that handles deer, hogs, and other medium to large game without apology.
What Makes Federal Power-Shok Reliable
The soft lead construction with a centered hollow point is designed to expand rapidly upon impact, maximizing energy transfer downrange. At 1280 fps, these slugs print accurate groups out to 100 yards from a smoothbore barrel. The rifling on the slug itself (not your barrel) helps stabilize the projectile through the air, which is why this load works in any smoothbore shotgun. You're getting proven, straightforward performance that won't let you down when it matters.
Built for Smoothbore Shotguns
These shells load 766 grains per slug and retain enough energy at 100 yards (around 1600 ft-lbs) to get the job done on game. The ballistic coefficient of 0.099 keeps things flat and predictable, so you don't have to second-guess your aim. The brass head and plastic tube stand up to the serious pressures involved, and the non-corrosive boxer primer means the empties are reloadable if you want to go that route.
Power-Shok slugs have earned their reputation by focusing on what works: affordable ammunition that delivers real-world performance. No gimmicks, no unnecessary complexity. Just a heavy chunk of lead going where you point it and doing what slugs are supposed to do.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I shoot these Federal Power-Shok rifled slugs through any shotgun barrel?
These are designed specifically for smoothbore barrels, not rifled barrels. The rifling on the slug itself provides stabilization as it travels downrange. They'll cycle fine through an improved or modified choke, but avoid full chokes to prevent excessive pressure buildup. If you have a fully rifled barrel, you might want to check with Federal first.
What's the effective hunting range for this 10 gauge Power-Shok load?
Most shooters find these slugs effective out to 100 yards, and the ballistics back that up with about 1600 ft-lbs of energy remaining at that distance. That's more than enough for deer and medium game. Past 100 yards, accuracy drops off more noticeably, so stick within that range unless you've practiced extensively with your specific shotgun.
How much recoil should I expect from the 10 gauge 3.5" Federal Power-Shok?
This is a serious load. The 10 gauge is inherently powerful, and a 3.5" magnum shell with a heavy slug produces considerable recoil. A lighter shotgun will kick harder than a heavier one, so that matters. Make sure your gun is properly shouldered and you're using a pad if your gun doesn't have one already.
Are these Federal Power-Shok slugs reloadable?
Yes, they come with boxer primers and brass heads, so the empties are reloadable if you're into handloading. That's a nice bonus for shooters who want to stretch their ammunition investment over time and dial in their own loads.
