Hornady SST 20 Gauge 250gr FTX sabot slug ammunition is designed to deliver 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 250-grain FTX® (Flex Tip) projectile, which incorporates a polymer tip to improve aerodynamics and promote reliable expansion. This design helps provide 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 dependable downrange performance from modern slug guns.
With a muzzle velocity of approximately 1800 feet per second, the 250-grain SST slug produces strong downrange energy and effective hunting capability, making it a dependable option for whitetail deer and other medium-sized game.
