Hornady American Whitetail 12 GA 2 3/4" 1 oz Rifled Slug 5/Box Ammunition

Hornady American Whitetail 12 GA 2 3/4" 1 oz Rifled Slug 5/Box Ammunition is built around a smooth-bore shotgun configuration for hunters who need a dedicated 12 gauge rifled slug load. This American Whitetail load uses a 1 oz foster-style slug with a hollow point profile and a tough lead-alloy core, giving it a straightforward hunting-focused design without unnecessary complexity. The compression-style wad protects the slug at ignition and helps seal the bore, supporting the listed muzzle velocity and consistent field function. With a 2 3/4" shell length and a box of 5 rounds, this load is suited for hunters preparing a smooth-bore shotgun for whitetail hunting where a rifled slug is required or preferred. The ballistic data provides clear reference points from the muzzle to 150 yards, helping the shooter understand velocity, energy and trajectory behavior before use.
