Hornady SST 12 Gauge 300gr FTX sabot slug ammunition is designed to provide rifle-like accuracy and extended range performance from modern slug guns. The SST slug uses an aerodynamic projectile profile and advanced sabot design to produce flatter trajectories and improved accuracy compared to traditional shotgun slugs.
At the core of this load is Hornady’s 300-grain FTX® (Flex Tip) projectile, which incorporates a polymer tip that enhances ballistic performance and promotes reliable expansion. This design improves aerodynamics while maintaining deep penetration and controlled expansion for hunting applications.
The sabot system efficiently seals propellant gases and stabilizes the projectile when fired through fully rifled shotgun barrels. This design helps produce excellent accuracy and consistent downrange performance, making it a trusted choice for modern slug gun hunters.
With a muzzle velocity of approximately 2000 feet per second, the 300-grain SST slug delivers strong downrange energy and extended effective range, making it well suited for deer hunting and other large game applications.
