12 Gauge – Rifled Slug – 1oz – Hydra-Shok HP – 2 3/4 – Federal (LEF127 RS) – 250 Rounds

Agencies and private owners who run a shotgun for defense want a slug that hits hard, groups well, and expands reliably. This listing is Federal Law Enforcement 12 gauge 2-3/4 inch 1 ounce Hydra-Shok hollow point rifled slug ammo, MPN LEF127RS, sold as a 250 round case.

This full power load is listed at 1,610 fps. The 1 ounce Hydra-Shok rifled slug uses a hollow point design to start expansion on impact, and its ribbed sides let it pass safely through smoothbore barrels and most chokes. Slugs extend a shotgun’s effective range well beyond buckshot, which makes this load useful for patrol and home defense shotguns as well as for deer and hogs where slugs are legal. Because it is a full power load, expect substantial recoil.

This ammunition fits 12 gauge shotguns with a 2-3/4 inch or longer chamber, including the Remington 870 Police, Mossberg 500 and 590A1, Benelli M4 and M2, Beretta 1301 Tactical, and Winchester SXP Defender. A common question is whether rifled slugs should be fired through a rifled barrel. They can be, but sabot slugs are designed for rifled barrels and generally group better there. Another common question is whether a full power slug cycles a semi-automatic shotgun. Full power loads like this one generally cycle gas and inertia semi-autos well, though it is wise to run a box through your gun before relying on it.

Federal LEF127RS is new production ammunition, not reloads, made in the USA by Federal. This case contains 50 boxes of 5 rounds for a total of 250 rounds of 12 gauge 1 ounce Hydra-Shok rifled slugs. Five round boxes make it easy to load a side saddle or carry a known count to qualification, and a full case from one lot ensures your sights stay zeroed from training to duty.
