The Winchester X12CLF Copper Impact delivers devastating terminal performance through its solid copper construction and precision sabot design. This 12-gauge slug ammunition combines advanced metallurgy with proven ballistics to create reliable stopping power for deer hunting and tactical applications.
What Makes This Different
Unlike traditional lead slugs, the Copper Impact features a solid copper projectile that maintains 100% weight retention upon impact. The polymer sabot separates cleanly after leaving the barrel, allowing the copper slug to achieve superior accuracy and consistent trajectory. This design eliminates lead fragmentation while delivering deeper penetration than conventional hollow point slugs.
Key Features
- Solid copper construction provides maximum weight retention and penetration
- Precision polymer sabot ensures consistent accuracy and clean separation
- 1 oz projectile weight optimized for 12-gauge performance
- 2.75" shell length fits standard and magnum shotgun chambers
- Lead-free design complies with non-toxic ammunition regulations
- Controlled expansion creates reliable wound channels
- Factory-loaded with consistent powder charges for repeatable performance
Field testing demonstrates consistent 2-3 inch groups at 100 yards from rifled barrels, making this ammunition suitable for precision deer hunting where accuracy matters. The copper construction performs reliably in temperatures from -20°F to 140°F, maintaining ballistic consistency across hunting seasons. Law enforcement agencies appreciate the predictable terminal ballistics and barrier penetration capabilities.
