Description
The Federal 20 ga 275gr Freight Train Slug load is built for shooters who want more from their 20 Gauge 2-3/4 in than typical factory ammunition delivers. Federal loads a 275 grain Freight Train copper sabot slug to a rated 1700 feet per second, producing about 1765 foot-pounds of energy. The Freight Train slug is a lead-free copper projectile with a polymer tip, fired from a sabot for accuracy in rifled barrels and rifled choke tubes.

Buying ammunition by the box from the same production lot keeps velocity and point of impact consistent from one range trip to the next. Keep a record of the load you carry, check your ammunition for dents or loose bullets from time to time, and rotate your carry rounds so the ones in your firearm stay fresh. These simple habits help you get the full performance Federal builds into every cartridge.
Before you trust any new load, fire enough rounds through your firearm to confirm it feeds, fires and ejects reliably and that the point of impact matches your sights. Full-power loads produce more recoil and muzzle blast than typical range ammo, so practice with the Federal 20 ga 275gr Freight Train Slug until you are comfortable with it, and store the rest in a cool, dry place in the original box.
