Winchester Copper Impact Sabot Slug 20 Gauge
Winchester's Copper Impact sabot slug delivers 3/4 ounce of copper-based performance through smooth-bore shotgun barrels. The stabilizing wad system provides superior accuracy and energy transfer on impact for reliable hunting results.
Winchester Copper Impact Sabot Slug
Winchester's Copper Impact represents a significant advancement in shotgun slug technology for hunters who rely on smooth-bore barrels. This 20-gauge, 2.75-inch load delivers a 3/4-ounce copper-based projectile at 1600 feet per second.
Design and Performance
The Copper Impact slug features Winchester's signature Copper Extreme Point technology, engineered for immediate expansion upon impact. The solid copper construction provides exceptional weight retention compared to traditional jacketed lead-core designs, ensuring consistent penetration and energy delivery to vital areas.
The Sabot Advantage
Unlike conventional rifled Foster slugs, the Copper Impact employs a unique stabilizing wad system that inserts through the slug itself, creating a dome-shaped tip. This design allows the slug and wad to travel as a unified projectile downrange, delivering measurably improved accuracy from smooth-bore barrels.
Terminal Performance
Upon impact, the slug and wad separate, concentrating all available energy into the target's vital zone. The large-impact-diameter design and immediate expansion characteristics make this load well-suited for deer-sized game.
