Federal Power-Shok 12 Gauge Rifled Slug 2.75″ 1-1/4 oz

Description

Federal's Power-Shok line is built for hunters who want straightforward, effective ammunition without unnecessary complications. This particular load pairs a 1 1/4 ounce hollow-point slug with a standard 2 3/4 inch shell, delivering 1520 feet per second and 2805 foot-pounds of energy right at the muzzle.

Understanding the Rifled Slug Design

The grooves on these slugs aren't there to impress anyone. They serve a practical purpose: helping the slug navigate through different choke constrictions and settle into your smoothbore barrel. The rifling on the slug itself doesn't create the kind of spin you'd get from a rifled barrel. Instead, it centers the projectile for consistent alignment with the bore. That means better grouping and more reliable accuracy where it counts.

Built for Smoothbore Performance

These shells work exclusively with smoothbore shotguns. The soft-lead construction expands reliably on impact, doing the work needed for clean takedowns on deer and similar game. Federal engineered this specific load to deliver consistent results out to 100 yards, which is the practical range where most hunters operate. Beyond that distance, bullet drop becomes steep enough that you're fighting the gun rather than using it effectively.

Value-Oriented Ammunition

Power-Shok slugs represent what a working ammunition line should be: no frills, no gimmicks, just solid manufacturing that gets the job done. You're not paying for fancy packaging or cutting-edge technology. You're paying for Federal's reputation and decades of experience loading ammunition that performs. Each box of five rounds gives you what you need without the premium pricing.
