12 Gauge – Rifled Slug – 1oz – TruBall Deep Penetrator – 2 3/4 – Federal (LEB127DPRS) – 250 Rounds

Federal’s TruBall system made smoothbore slugs far more accurate, and the Deep Penetrator version adds a hard copper-plated slug built for penetration. This listing is Federal Law Enforcement 12 gauge 2-3/4 inch 1 ounce TruBall Deep Penetrator rifled slug ammo, MPN LEB127DPRS, sold as a 250 round case.

Federal lists this load at 1,350 fps with 1,770 ft-lbs of muzzle energy. The TruBall design uses a plastic ball between a special wad and the slug, which centers the slug in the bore as it travels down the barrel. That alignment is what gives TruBall slugs their reputation for tight groups from smoothbore shotguns, with many guns producing roughly 3 inch groups at 50 yards. The Deep Penetrator slug is copper plated and designed to hold together for deep penetration, which suits barrier work and large, tough game. The 1,350 fps velocity is lower than full-power slugs, helping keep recoil in check.

This ammunition fits shotguns chambered in 12 gauge with a 2-3/4 inch or longer chamber, including the Remington 870 Police, Mossberg 590A1 and 500, Benelli M4 and M1014, Beretta 1301 Tactical, and Winchester SXP Defender. A common question is whether TruBall slugs work in rifled barrels. They are designed for smoothbore barrels, and sabot slugs are usually the better choice for a fully rifled barrel. Another common question is choke selection. Most shotguns shoot TruBall slugs best with a cylinder or improved cylinder choke.

Federal LEB127DPRS is new production ammunition, not reloads, made in the USA. This case comes in factory packaging as 50 boxes of 5 rounds for a total of 250 rounds of 12 gauge TruBall Deep Penetrator slugs. Buying by the case lets you zero and train with the same lot you carry. Stored in a cool, dry place, shotshells stay reliable for years, so a case also works as a long-term supply for a patrol or home defense shotgun.
