Product Overview
The Hornady SST 20 Gauge 2.75″ FTX slug is engineered for consistent performance in fully rifled shotgun barrels. These specialized shotgun shells are designed to provide a flat trajectory and reliable terminal ballistics. KFF Defense assesses these slugs as highly effective for precision hunting applications where dedicated rifled shotgun platforms are utilized.
Key Features
Flex Tip (FTX) Technology
Hornady’s patented Flex Tip (FTX) technology is integrated into each SST slug. This resilient polymer tip is engineered to initiate rapid, yet controlled, expansion upon impact, ensuring effective energy transfer and consistent terminal performance on target game. This design optimizes energy delivery while mitigating over-penetration.
Lead Core Construction
The slug incorporates a traditional lead core, providing significant projectile mass. This design optimizes kinetic energy delivery and enhances the slug’s downrange stability and effectiveness, contributing to consistent performance across varied engagement distances.
Optimized Aerodynamic Profile
Specifically developed for fully rifled shotgun barrels, the SST slug features an aerodynamic profile that mitigates drag. This design contributes to a flatter trajectory and improved accuracy, allowing for precise shot placement. In relevant engagement envelopes, this platform can deliver accuracy approaching that of some dedicated precision rifle systems.
Hornady SST 20 Gauge slugs are specified as high-performance hunting ammunition, particularly for regions where rifle deployment is restricted. They provide the requisite accuracy and terminal effect for the ethical harvest of medium to large game. These slugs are also suitable for firearm zeroing and validation as part of a comprehensive shooting range regimen.
