Details
Federal Premium Law Enforcement Tactical 12 Gauge hollow point rifled slug ammunition is one of your best bets for home defense. This shell’s slug weighs normal at 1 ounce, although its 1,300 fps muzzle velocity (30” bbl) is lower than average. The payoff is less recoil and less accompanying muzzle flip!
The Hydra-Shok slug is still plenty effective at its intended purpose following lower-velocity impact. According to Federal, this shell’s velocity at 50 yards is 1,040 fps, at which rate it still carries over 1,000 ft lbs of kinetic energy. That’s the recommended minimum energy delivery for harvesting whitetail, and about four times the minimum advised for self-defense. And thanks to the Hydra-Shok’s capacity for terminal expansion, this ammo also lessens the risk of over-penetrating the target. The slug’s positive expansion suits it for deer hunting as well.
This versatile shell is loaded in a blue hull, which is intended to help cops distinguish it from their buckshot loads. Cops are Federal’s target market for their Law Enforcement ammo. Even so, the general public is also allowed to purchase it.
This ammo is only suitable for smoothbore shotguns. Although it is low-recoil, we would expect the 3-1/4 dram equivalent shell to cycle a semi-automatic.
