Product Info for Hornady Custom Lite 12 Gauge 300 Grain Flex Tip eXpanding Slug 2.75" Shotgun Slug Ammunition

Hornady Custom Lite ammunition provides reduced recoil and muzzle blast from the most popular calibers, and puts the fun back into shooting for kids, women, and every shooter looking to keep recoil to a minimum while still enjoying the use of their favorite rifle.image

Loaded with Hornady SST bullets, Custom Lite ammunition is designed to deliver less felt recoil and a modified trajectory that still provides the accurate, deadly, and dependable performance you rely on from Hornady.

The 12 gauge Custom Lite Shotgun Slug is a reduced recoil option that is ideal for youngsters, women or anyone looking to tame the recoil of their favorite rifled barrel slug gun.

Although extremely effective, 12 gauge slugs deliver a fair amount of recoil - now, hunters have an alternative with the 12 gauge Custom Lite Shotgun Slug that features almost 40% less felt recoil in comparison to standard 12 gauge slug options.

Loaded with the same 300 grain FTX projectile used in the original SST Shotgun Slug, the Custom Lite leaves the muzzle at 1,575 fps, but is a mild recoiling, yet highly effective load capable of taking the largest Midwest whitetail out to 150 yards!
