Description
The Federal Premium TruBall is designed to solve the fundamental accuracy problem with smoothbore slug guns. A plastic ball seated between the wad and the base of the slug acts as a centering mechanism, ensuring the slug launches consistently aligned with the bore axis. This promotes clean component separation after muzzle exit and eliminates the erratic flight paths that plague standard rifled slugs in smoothbore barrels. Federal claims groups as tight as 1.4 inches at 50 yards from a smoothbore.
This is a low-recoil loading (denoted by the LRS suffix in the part number), driving the 1-ounce (438-grain) hollow point slug at 1,300 fps for 1,642 ft-lbs of muzzle energy. The reduced velocity cuts felt recoil substantially while still delivering more than enough energy for deer-sized game inside typical slug gun distances. Compatible with smoothbore barrels, rifled choke tubes, and fully rifled barrels.
