The Federal Premium Freight Train 12-gauge slug delivers devastating terminal performance with its innovative bonded soft point design. This 2.75-inch shell generates massive energy transfer while maintaining accuracy at extended ranges. Built for hunters who demand reliable one-shot stops on large game, the Freight Train combines Federal's proven manufacturing quality with advanced projectile technology.
What Makes This Different
The Freight Train slug features a bonded soft point construction that prevents core separation on impact, ensuring maximum weight retention and deep penetration. Unlike standard foster slugs that can fragment, this design maintains structural integrity through heavy bone and tissue. The aerodynamic profile delivers flatter trajectory and improved accuracy compared to traditional rifled slugs, extending effective range significantly.
Key Features
- Bonded soft point slug prevents core separation for maximum weight retention
- 2.75-inch shell length fits all 12-gauge shotguns including semi-automatics
- Aerodynamic design improves trajectory and downrange accuracy
- Premium brass case with reliable primer ignition system
- Consistent powder charge delivers uniform velocities shot to shot
- Deep penetration capability for large game hunting applications
- Federal Premium quality control ensures reliable performance
Field testing demonstrates consistent groupings under 3 inches at 75 yards from rifled barrels, with devastating terminal performance on deer-sized game. The bonded construction maintains 95% weight retention even after passing through heavy bone, making it ideal for elk and bear hunting where deep penetration is critical. Weather-sealed primers and cases resist moisture in harsh hunting conditions.
