Hornady® Superformance® Shotgun slugs feature the innovative, accurate and deep penetrating MonoFlex® projectile in your choice of either 12 or 20 gauge loads!
At the heart of the Superformance® Shotgun slug is the MonoFlex® – a monolithic solid projectile made from gilding metal (95% copper / 5% zinc) and topped with the Hornady® exclusive Flex Tip® feature that works as a catalyst for uniform expansion, even at the low velocities of longer range impacts. The MonoFlex® won’t separate, and retains 95% of its original weight.
Specifically engineered to deliver accuracy, penetration and extremely high weight retention, the MonoFlex® is a “non-traditional” / alternative metal option that is a fantastic choice for ALL hunters.
Fueled by the use of our specially blended propellants, the Superformance® Shotgun Slug is built to deliver maximum velocity for flatter trajectories and enhanced terminal performance.
The slug’s internal sabot and gas seal construction is scientifically engineered to trap gases that deliver uniform pressure and velocity while working to force open the petals and uniformly push the slug toward its target – accurately.
All of these features combine to create a slug that is capable of taking everything from Midwest whitetails to Alaskan moose.

The information below comes from our Gun Caliber Dictionary and is for
general reference only. It does not describe the specifications of this
particular item.
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.
