Details
Hornady SST shotgun shells use the company’s Superformance round,
a sabot package that delivers the MonoFlex projectile, a copper-plated, Hornady
Flex Tip slug. The MonoFlex is a 95% copper, 5% zinc slug that behaves like a
giant hollow point bullet and has enough power to take down an Alaskan moose or
anything smaller. Superformance shells are loaded with special propellants to
deliver flat trajectories and maximize energy transfer; meanwhile, the sabot
and gas seals in the shell direct the charge’s forces in the correct direction
to ensure the slug leaves the muzzle at around 1,628 feet per second and flies
true to its target. Each box contains 5 shells.
Hornady is a renowned design and manufacturing company that has created a wide variety of innovative bullets and other projectiles in addition to a whole cartridge, the .17 HMR (Hornady Magnum Rimfire). The company’s personal defense and law enforcement products use its popular FTX and XTP hollow point rounds. Hornady also produces shotgun shells such as the TAP law enforcement series and SST hunting ammo.

I live in a shotgun only zone in lower Michigan. I have harvested five different deer with this round during the last two deer seasons. Two of the five shots were 150 yards plus. Always accurate and always reliable. I shoot a Savage bolt action .20 gauge. (Posted on 3/3/2014)

I spent some money on slugs this year and tested several different brands at different ranges (50-100-150) out of my three 20 gauge shotguns. This ammo was consistently the most accurate out of all of my guns from my new Savage with the accu-trigger to my 1950's vintage Ithaca model 37 on paper targets.
I dropped two large does with this ammo and they were the cleanest most humanly harvested deer I have ever had. AND, the does were both across my corn field that I measured at 120 and 135 yards. In short, under 150 yards, this is a rifle round. Probably still excellent at even longer range, but I cant say from experience above 150. Other than sighting in, in the beginning of the season, I have fired 2 rounds of this, and have 2 deer in the freezer. You get what you pay for and I can't say enough about this round.

These slugs are excellent, possibly the best I have ever used. I have taken around 5 deer with these slugs, they are accurate and expand nicely. I shoot them out of a 20ga Ithaca deer slayer and can even get nice groups out to 200 yards. They are priced high, but still lower than many other slugs on the market. Well worth the price.

I used these when they first came out. I have never fired a shot gun slug more accurate. These absolutely are accurate out to 200 yards if you have your scope sighted in properly, and you can shoot. These are expensive for 20g slugs, but they are well worth it. They shot great out of my Remington 870, 18 inch rifled, special purpose barrel. I honestly don't know what the special purpose means, but thats what it says on it. Fantastic gun, and this is fantastic ammo for it. I have not ordered from bulkammo.com but I saw these had no reviews, and I figured they deserved one. (Posted on 12/30/2012)

Q: I live in Nevada now, but i often travel back to Ca to hunt where I grew up. These are non lead rounds correct? I've done a lot of research and I know the FTX rounds are lead. I just want to make sure that these will be suitable to have when I cross the Ca line, before I purchase them
Posted On: 3/31/2023 By: Corey
A: Sorry sir, but this round's slug does contain lead and isn't legal for hunting in California. Hornady doesn't make a lead-free 20ga slug. I'm afraid we haven't got what you're after in stock. (I'd recommend Barnes VOR-TX Expander 20ga ammo if you can find it. Its product number is XPDR20.)
Q: Do these need to be shot from a rifled barrel to have the same performance or is smooth bore acceptable?
Posted On: 8/1/2020 By: Tom
A: Thanks for reaching out Tom! A sabot slug essentially needs a rifled barrel. This shell will fire in a smoothbore shotgun, and the slug will come out, but it will be horribly inaccurate and will likely hit its target sideways in a phenomenon known as "keyholing."
We have got Federal's rifled slugs in stock – your smoothbore will like these a WHOLE lot more: bulkammo.com/bulk-20ga-ammo-20gaslug34ozfederalps-5
