Hornady American Whitetail Rifled Slug 12 Gauge 2¾” 1 oz Foster-Style Rifled Hollow Point 1600 FPS – 5 Rounds is a smoothbore-friendly deer slug designed for solid accuracy, reliable expansion, and proven whitetail performance.
When you hunt with a smoothbore shotgun, you need a slug that’s designed for that platform—stable, consistent, and effective at practical distances. Hornady American Whitetail rifled slugs are built specifically for smoothbore barrels and deliver the classic Foster-style performance hunters have trusted for generations, backed by Hornady quality control and consistency.

This 12-gauge 2¾-inch load uses a 1 oz Foster-style rifled slug with a hollow point and a tough lead-alloy core, pushed to 1,600 feet per second for strong downrange energy. A compression-style wad helps protect the slug at ignition and assists with sealing the bore, supporting maximum velocity and dependable shot-to-shot performance. The result is a straightforward, hard-hitting slug load that’s ready for whitetail season in areas where shotguns are required or preferred.

If you want a smoothbore-ready deer slug with reliable performance, practical accuracy, and proven terminal results, Hornady American Whitetail rifled slugs are a solid choice to keep in your hunting kit.
