Hornady Custom Lite 12 Gauge 2.75" FTX Slug 5rd Box 86230

The Hornady Custom Lite 12 Gauge delivers full-power slug performance with significantly reduced felt recoil through advanced powder technology. These 2.75-inch shells feature the proven FTX (Flex Tip eXpanding) slug design that maintains terminal effectiveness while offering shooters enhanced comfort and faster follow-up shots.

What Makes This Different

Custom Lite ammunition reduces felt recoil by up to 40% compared to standard velocity loads while maintaining effective downrange energy. The FTX slug incorporates Hornady's patented Flex Tip technology, featuring a polymer insert that initiates controlled expansion upon impact. This design delivers consistent terminal performance across various ranges while eliminating the harsh recoil that can cause flinching and reduced accuracy.

Key Features

• FTX Flex Tip slug design for reliable expansion and energy transfer
• Reduced recoil load generates 40% less felt recoil than standard slugs
• 2.75-inch shell length fits standard and magnum 12-gauge chambers
• Consistent powder charge ensures reliable cycling in semi-automatic shotguns
• High-quality brass case construction for reliable extraction
• 5 rounds per box packaging for convenient range sessions

These slugs excel in hunting situations where quick follow-up shots matter, particularly for deer hunting in dense cover or when introducing new shooters to slug hunting. The reduced recoil characteristics make extended practice sessions more comfortable while maintaining the knockdown power needed for medium to large game. Law enforcement agencies appreciate the manageable recoil for training scenarios and tactical applications where shooter fatigue can impact performance.
