Slug
You are a big, tough kind of guy. To you, the recoil of a 12 Gauge shotgun feels like a kiss from a 3-week-old puppy. But does that mean you don’t like low-recoil ammo? Of course not! Even a heroic figure such as your own can appreciate gentler kick while it’s hunting or competing. And fast, accurate target reacquisition? Just another item on your personal list of The Good Things.
This shotgun shell is only low-recoil relative to other conventional rifled slug hunting ammo. It still kicks harder than a trap load, because it’s loaded with 1 ounce of lead, a long collapsible recoil-absorbing plastic wad, and enough powder to break the speed of sound by a good 275 fps. It’s not even low-recoil to a degree that interferes with semi-automatic operation, per Winchester.
Thanks to Winchester’s thoughtfully provided ballistic data, we were able to calculate the slug’s G1 BC at 0.072. Here’s what that translates to vis-à-vis long-range (relatively speaking) performance:
0yds: 1,300 fps | 1,642 ft lbs | -1.5”
50yds: 1,043 fps | 1,057 ft lbs | 3.3”
100yds: 912 fps | 808 ft lbs | 0.0”
150yds: 823 fps | 658 ft lbs | -13.6”
200yds: 750 fps | 547 ft lbs | -40.1”
Remember! Rifled slugs are for smoothbore shotguns!
