The Federal Premium P151FT Freight Train delivers maximum stopping power for hunters pursuing large game in dense cover. This 12-gauge 3-inch slug ammunition combines Federal's proven slug technology with deep penetration capabilities that outperform standard foster slugs.
What Makes This Different
The Freight Train slug features a hardened lead core with controlled expansion design that maintains weight retention through heavy bone and tissue. Unlike traditional rifled slugs that can fragment on impact, this ammunition maintains structural integrity while creating devastating wound channels. The precision-manufactured slug achieves consistent 2-3 inch groups at 100 yards from most smoothbore barrels.
Key Features
- Hardened lead slug with controlled expansion for maximum penetration
- 3-inch magnum shell delivers 1,900+ fps muzzle velocity
- Weight retention exceeds 95% after impact with bone and tissue
- Compatible with all 12-gauge smoothbore and rifled barrels

Field performance demonstrates reliable expansion at velocities from 1,200 to 1,900 fps, making this ammunition effective for both close-range timber hunting and longer shots across clearings. The slug maintains trajectory stability in crosswinds better than lightweight alternatives. Hunters report clean, ethical kills on deer, black bear, and wild hogs with proper shot placement.
