Details
If circumstances ever require you to defend your home with a 12 Gauge shotgun, then you’ll have enough things to worry about without counting heavy recoil among them. You don’t want sharp muzzle rise that throws your aim far off target. That means you want this Federal Premium Law Enforcement Tactical ammo, which is very much for sale to the general public.
This shell’s reduced recoil isn’t a magic trick. Its muzzle velocity is just average at 1,300 fps, and its slug falls on the lighter end of the weight spectrum at 1 ounce. We’re not saying this ammo doesn’t kick at all. It just kicks lighter than a lot of the fiery high-powered hunting shells on the market.
The Hydra-Shok slug is more than just capable of taking down the threat. It is specifically designed for that purpose, and is outfitted with a hollow point nose cavity that initiates terminal expansion the instant it sinks into soft tissue. The slug’s 1,300 fps muzzle velocity (which Federal recorded using a 30” test barrel) also gives the slug enough energy to ethically harvest a whitetail deer at 50 yards, which only speaks further to its potential for personal defense.

I bought these because they were very reasonably priced. My son is a former sniper and the first time we used these, he commented how the recoil was substantial but what was the weirdest, was the smell. It took some time later to get the stink of the ammo off of us. (Posted on 12/4/2023)

I like it. Softer on the shoulder. Initial test was only out to 25 yards. However.out of a 15" barrel, all six rounds stayed with in a fist sized spread (Posted on 9/6/2021)

Never stop selling these slugs bulkammo!! These never fail me and even with reduced recoil they are accurate and pack a nasty punch on whatever you hit. When compared to higher velocity Winchester slugs these actually penetrate considerably more and I'd imagine it's due to the fact they don't instantly shatter to bits on impact like higher velocity slugs. They will disintegrate both sides of a cinder block quite nicely. Got these on sale and will buy again!!! Everyone get these! You won't be dissapointed (Posted on 4/20/2014)

These are great slugs! Worked perfectly in my mossberg 500, tried the low recoil because I use a pistol grip and 100 rounds later, my hand didn't get all beat up like usual. And they still pack a punch!! Will be ordering more! Super fast shipping!!! (Posted on 6/9/2013)

Excellent Ammo {I have this regularly in the ammo dump}
Lucky to find it (Thank You Bulk Ammo)!!!
Prices are going up (sign of the times); still a good deal
Delivery was quick - 2 days for regular shipping {I know where UPS eats lunch}
Was kind of looking for full power ... the Low Recoil will go through both doors of an old Suburban (real American steel)
A pleasure to do business with you ... A repeat customer ... I'll be back (Posted on 2/2/2013)

I purchased a case of 250 rounds a while back, and I have to say that these are some great slugs. My 870 loves them and recoil is very manageable and helps with quick follow up shots in my M4. Thanks BulkAmmo! (Posted on 12/4/2012)

It took a couple of weeks,but I was able to get out to the range.
No problems at all with my saiga 12.100 rounds through my 20 rd
drum.
Even though they are low recoil still felt sore for a few days.
I will be looking to get some more rounds in the near future. (Posted on 5/4/2012)

A: Hi! The fps on the 12 ga 2-3/4 LE Tactical 1 oz Rifled Slug - Federal is 1,610. Thanks
Q: Please advise is this shotgun ammo for use with a smooth bore or a rifled barrel?

A: This Federal shotgun ammo is designed to be used in smooth bore barrels as found in most shotguns. If your shotgun includes a rifled barrel, a sabot slug will deliver the most accuracy from your shotgun.
