Hornady American Whitetail rifled slugs are intended for use in 12-gauge smooth-bore shotguns and designed for big-game hunting applications. Each projectile is a 1-ounce foster-style hollow point with a lead-alloy core, and the load is published at 1,600 feet per second. A compression-style wad is used to protect the slug at ignition and to help seal the bore for consistent velocity. Packaging is standard commercial boxes of 5 rounds with 20 boxes per case.
