Federal’s Premium Freight Train sabot slug in 12 gauge (part no. P152 FT) is built for hunters who want serious big-game knockdown power from the standard-bore platform. Federal Ammunition engineers the Freight Train specifically as a sabot slug, a design that pairs the projectile with a precision sabot sleeve for improved accuracy through a rifled or smoothbore barrel compared to a traditional rifled slug. That precision matters most at the ranges deer and hog hunters actually shoot, where a tighter group means a cleaner, more ethical harvest. This shotgun shells is a serious hunting slug, not a plinking or reduced-recoil option.
