Federal Premium Vital-Shok TruBall 20 Gauge Rifled Slug

Federal Premium Vital-Shok TruBall Rifled Slug

Federal Premium has engineered a rifled slug that challenges everything you thought you knew about smoothbore shotgun accuracy. The Vital-Shok TruBall delivers consistent, tight groupings that rival rifles—achieving groups as tight as 1.4 inches at 50 yards from smoothbore barrels.

The TruBall Advantage

The innovation lies in Federal's proprietary TruBall system. A precision-engineered plastic ball is positioned between the wad and slug, serving a critical function: it keeps your slug perfectly centered in the barrel during the firing process. This centering effect eliminates the inconsistencies that plague traditional slug designs.

After the slug exits the muzzle, the components separate cleanly—the wad and ball fall away while the slug continues downrange on a true trajectory. This clean separation is the key to the exceptional accuracy these shells deliver.
