Winchester Ammo Deer Season XP Copper Impact 12 Gauge 2 3/4" 1oz Sabot Slug 5 Per Box
Not all deer hunters tote rifles during general firearms seasons as evidenced by a number of states and localities restricted to shotgun use only. Now those hunters can benefit from the same high-performance ammunition with a new Deer Season Slug. - The new 12-gauge slug is created for those slug gun hunters who shoot through smooth-bore barrels and features a 1¼-ounce slug combined with a unique stabilizing wad that inserts through the slug to form a dome-shaped tip. The slug and wad travel as one downrange providing better accuracy than traditional rifled foster slugs. Upon impact the slug and wad separate depositing all of the slug’s energy into the vitals of the deer for maximum terminal performance. - Gauge: 12 Gauge - Shell Length: 2 3/4 - Velocity: 1600FPS - Slug Size: 1oz.

12 gauge is the most popular and useful shotgun gauges ever made. Suitable for everything from doves to geese. With sporting, military and law enforcement applications. Available in 2 ¾”, 3” and 3 ½”. The magnum lengths are generally preferred for waterfowl and turkey. Most major manufacturers produce guns and ammunition in a very wide septum for 12 gauge. Loads from ¾ oz. to 2 oz. are common with 1 1/8 oz Low base and 1 ¼ oz being the most common loadings. Target loads are normally around 1150 to 1200 FPS with High velocity lead loads tuning up 1350 FPS. Steel waterfowl loads tend to be loaded faster around 1500 FPS to compensate lower density shot. While the 2 ¾” loading is still the most popular ammunition made, nearly all current production guns have 3”or 3 ½” chambers. The shorter ammunition can be safely fired in longer chambers, but not all magnum semiautomatics will function with shorter shotshells. — Craig Boddington
