Federal’s TruBall system made smoothbore slugs dramatically more accurate, and this full-power law enforcement version pairs it with a 1 ounce hollow point slug. This listing is Federal Law Enforcement 12 gauge 2-3/4 inch 1 ounce TruBall hollow point rifled slug ammo, MPN LEB127 RS, sold as a 250 round case.
Federal lists this load at 1,600 fps, full-power speed for a 1 ounce slug. The TruBall design places a plastic ball between the wad and the slug, which keeps the slug centered as it travels down the barrel and exits cleanly. That alignment gives TruBall slugs their reputation for tighter groups from smoothbore shotguns than conventional Foster-style slugs. The hollow point nose is designed to expand on impact. Patrol officers use TruBall slugs to extend the reach of a shotgun, and deer and hog hunters use them for the same accuracy benefits.
Load it in any 12 gauge with a 2-3/4 inch or longer chamber, from an 870 Express or Mossberg 590 Retrograde to a Benelli Supernova Tactical or Beretta A300 Ultima Patrol. A frequent question is how this differs from Federal LEB127 DPRS. The DPRS uses a harder, copper-plated Deep Penetrator slug at 1,350 fps, while LEB127 RS uses a hollow point slug at full 1,600 fps velocity. Another common question is whether TruBall slugs work in rifled barrels. They are built for smoothbores; sabot slugs are usually better in fully rifled barrels. Most shotguns shoot TruBall best with cylinder or improved cylinder chokes.
Federal LEB127 RS 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 hollow point slugs. Buying by the case lets you zero and train with the same lot you carry. Stored cool and dry, slugs stay reliable for years.
