Hornady Custom Lite 12 Gauge 300gr FTX sabot slug ammunition is engineered to deliver reduced recoil without sacrificing accuracy or terminal performance. The Custom Lite line uses optimized propellants and premium components to create a smooth-shooting slug load ideal for recoil-sensitive hunters and shooters.
At the core of this load is Hornady’s 300-grain FTX® (Flex Tip) projectile, which uses a polymer tip to improve aerodynamics and promote reliable expansion. This design provides deep penetration and controlled expansion, making it effective for hunting applications.
The sabot system stabilizes the projectile when fired through fully rifled shotgun barrels, helping deliver consistent accuracy and reliable downrange performance from modern slug guns.
With a muzzle velocity of approximately 1575 feet per second, this load provides strong energy and effective hunting capability while maintaining significantly reduced recoil compared to standard slug loads.
