The Hornady Custom Lite 20 Gauge 2.75″ FTX Slug is engineered to deliver effective terminal performance while significantly mitigating felt recoil. Developed specifically for optimal performance in rifled-barrel shotgun platforms, this specialized hunting ammunition addresses shooter discomfort commonly associated with traditional shotgun loads without compromising ballistic integrity.
Key Features
Recoil Mitigation System
Proprietary propellant blends are precisely formulated to achieve a documented 25% reduction in felt recoil compared to conventional 20 gauge loads. This reduction directly translates to enhanced shot recovery, facilitating quicker target reacquisition and enabling sustained operational comfort during extended field engagements or high-volume range training.
FTX Projectile Design
Each 2.75-inch slug integrates the patented Hornady Flex Tip® (FTX®) design. This tip enhances aerodynamic stability for consistent trajectory and initiates controlled, reliable expansion upon impact. This ensures efficient energy transfer, crucial for ethical terminal ballistics on medium game.
Optimized Terminal Ballistics
The synergy of reduced recoil and verified terminal ballistics positions the Hornady Custom Lite as an effective option for deer and other medium game hunting. This design facilitates improved shooter control, promoting more precise shot placement and contributing to greater field efficacy.
