Federal Premium Vital-Shok TruBall 12 Gauge Rifled Slug

Federal Premium Vital-Shok TruBall Rifled Slug

The Federal Premium Vital-Shok TruBall represents a significant advancement in smoothbore shotgun slug performance. This ammunition challenges conventional wisdom about what smoothbore shotguns can achieve in terms of accuracy and consistency.

The TruBall Advantage

The innovative TruBall system is the key to this ammunition's exceptional performance. A precision-engineered plastic ball is positioned between the wad and slug, serving a critical function: it keeps the rifled slug perfectly centered within your barrel as it travels down the bore. This centering mechanism ensures that the slug exits the muzzle with optimal alignment and velocity.

Real-World Accuracy

Federal Premium's testing demonstrates that the Vital-Shok TruBall is capable of producing groups as tight as 1.4 inches at 50 yards from smoothbore shotguns. This level of accuracy rivals many rifled slug loads and opens new possibilities for shotgun hunting at extended ranges.

Clean Separation Technology

After the slug exits the muzzle, the wad and plastic ball separate cleanly from the projectile. This separation is essential to maintaining the slug's trajectory and terminal performance downrange. The design ensures nothing interferes with the slug's flight path after leaving the barrel.

Ideal Application

These shells are purpose-built for hunting medium-sized game with smoothbore shotguns. Whether you're hunting deer in areas where rifles are restricted or pursuing other game, the Vital-Shok TruBall delivers the accuracy and reliability serious hunters demand.
