Federal Premium Freight Train Copper 12ga 3in Slug
Federal's Freight Train Copper sabot slug delivers exceptional accuracy with a polymer-tipped copper projectile and aerodynamic design. Engineered for tight groups at 200 yards through rifled barrels, these 300-grain slugs provide maximum downrange energy and reliable expansion for hunting.
Federal Premium Freight Train Copper Sabot Slug
The Freight Train Copper represents a significant advancement in shotgun slug technology, combining proven engineering with modern materials science to deliver the accuracy and power serious hunters demand.
Design and Construction
Projectile Design
- Streamlined copper construction for superior ballistics
- Polymer tip maximizes aerodynamic efficiency
- 300-grain weight optimized for 12-gauge 3-inch chambers
- Externally skived nose cavity ensures dramatic, controlled expansion
Sabot System
- Exclusive sabot design separates from the projectile after leaving the barrel
- Engineered for consistency and reliability through rifled shotgun barrels
- Promotes stable flight and tight shot grouping
Performance Characteristics
These slugs are designed to print groups under 4 inches at 200 yards when fired through rifled barrels—exceptional accuracy for a shotgun slug. The combination of the polymer tip and aerodynamic nose profile maximizes energy retention downrange, while the controlled expansion ensures ethical, effective performance on game.
Ideal For
Hunters pursuing deer, bear, and other medium to large game with rifled shotgun barrels. The Freight Train Copper excels in situations where accuracy and reliable expansion are paramount.
