Details
You could cover the walls with good reasons to choose low-recoil 12 Gauge rifled slug ammo. Firing it’s more comfortable. Lower recoil makes accurate rapid fire not easy, but easier. And best of all, it’s a (parentally supervised) youth hunter’s most agreeable introduction to the idyllic world of slug huntin’.
Don’t go firing this ammo not expecting to feel anything. Its single ounce of lead and 1,300 fps muzzle velocity are the badges of 3-1/4 dram equivalent (a simple measure of shotshell power). That’s at least 1/4 more than a 1-1/8 ounce clay load. It’s also around 1 dram less than a regular 1 ounce rifled slug load. In short, this round’s recoil is lower, but only compared to otherwise similar ammo.
The rifled (i.e. smoothbore) slug’s advertised muzzle velocity and 0.072 G1 BC promise 1,000+ ft lbs impact energy within 59 yards. That fits inside the average 50- to 150-yard range hunters typically bag whitetail within, so that low recoil truly doesn’t have to hold you back!
