Federal’s Premium Freight Train sabot slug in 20 gauge (part no. P208 FT) loads a heavy 275-grain slug built for hunters who demand serious knockdown power from a smaller-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 combination of weight and sabot precision gives 20 gauge hunters genuine big-game capability without stepping up to a 12 gauge. This shotgun shells is a serious hunting slug for deer and similar game, not a plinking or reduced-recoil option.
