12 Gauge – Rifled Slug HP 1.25oz – Magnum – 2.75″ – Federal (F130 RS) – 250 Rounds

Hunters in shotgun-only deer zones need a heavy slug that hits hard at woods distances without a special barrel. This listing is Federal Power-Shok 12 gauge 2-3/4 inch 1-1/4 ounce hollow point rifled slug ammo, a magnum slug load with MPN F130 RS (F130RS), sold as 250 rounds for clubs, outfitters, and hunters who sight in often.

Federal rates this load at 1,520 fps with 2,806 ft-lbs of muzzle energy, which is a lot of momentum from a standard length shell. The soft lead Foster-style slug has a hollow point nose to start expansion and external ribs that let it pass safely through a choke. Its hollow base keeps the weight forward so it flies point first. This is a hunting load for deer and wild hogs inside typical slug ranges, and it also teaches you where your shotgun actually prints with a single projectile.

This ammunition fits 12 gauge shotguns with a 2-3/4 inch or longer chamber, including the Remington 870 and 1100, Mossberg 500 and 590, Benelli M2 and Super Black Eagle, Beretta A300 and 1301, Browning BPS, and Winchester SXP. A common question is whether rifled slugs can be fired through a rifled barrel. They will function, but rifled slugs are designed for smoothbores, while sabot slugs are the better match for fully rifled barrels. Another common question is which choke to use. Cylinder or improved cylinder chokes and rifled slug barrels give the best groups, and you should always confirm the choke maker allows slugs.

Federal F130RS is new production ammunition, not reloads, made in the USA in Anoka, Minnesota. Each shell uses a plastic hull with a brass head and a reliable Federal primer, and it is non-corrosive. This listing contains 50 boxes of 5 shells for 250 rounds total, packed from one lot, so the slug that zeroed your gun in August lands in the same place on opening day.
