Hornady SST Lite 12 Gauge Slug 2¾” 300 gr FTX Slug 1575 FPS – 5 Rounds

Hornady SST Lite 12 Gauge Slug 2¾” 300 gr FTX Slug 1575 FPS – 5 Rounds is a reduced-recoil, accuracy-driven slug load built for controlled handling, reliable expansion, and impressive downrange precision.
If you want the performance benefits of Hornady’s SST/FTX technology but prefer a smoother-shooting slug for better follow-up shots and longer range sessions, SST Lite is made for you. It’s designed to keep recoil manageable while still delivering the modern ballistic advantages that help slug hunters stretch their effective range with confidence.

This 12-gauge 2¾-inch load sends a 300-grain SST® slug downrange at 1,575 feet per second—fast enough for strong performance while maintaining a more comfortable recoil impulse than full-power loads. The patented FTX® bullet design features a pointed polymer tip that improves ballistic efficiency, helping the slug fly straighter and retain energy. On impact, the FTX® construction is designed to promote controlled expansion—delivering the terminal performance hunters want on deer-sized game.

From woods hunting to field edges, Hornady SST Lite offers a blend of comfort, precision, and modern slug performance—an excellent choice for hunters who value accuracy, manageable recoil, and dependable results.

There are places where the water is still, the woods are deep, and the hills rise gently in the distance—places where hunters pause, listen, and wait. This image reflects those moments. The Hornady SST Lite Shotgun Slug is made for days spent overlooking a lake at first light, when deer move along the tree line and every step matters. Built to deliver reduced recoil without sacrificing accuracy or terminal performance, it’s trusted by hunters who value precision, control, and ethical harvests. This scene honors the balance between power and restraint, and the timeless connection between hunter, land, and season.
