Federal Premium Freight Train ammunition in 12 gauge (part no. P151 FT) loads a 300-grain sabot slug in a full 3-inch magnum hull, built for hunters who want maximum knockdown power on deer-size game. Federal Ammunition pushes the heavy 300-grain projectile with the extra powder capacity of the magnum hull, delivering more downrange energy than a standard 2.75-inch slug load. The sabot construction is built to engage rifling for genuine accuracy from a rifled-barrel shotgun rather than a smoothbore. For hunters in shotgun-only zones who want the hardest-hitting slug in the lineup, this shotgun shells is exactly that.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does the 3-inch magnum hull mean more recoil? Generally yes, a 3-inch magnum slug load like this carries noticeably more felt recoil than a standard 2.75-inch slug, a trade-off for the added downrange energy.

Does this slug require a rifled barrel? It is a sabot slug built to engage rifling, so it delivers its best accuracy from a rifled-barrel shotgun rather than a smoothbore slug barrel.
