Engineered to give smoothbore shotguns rifle‑like accuracy, Federal’s TruBall load centers a rifled hollow‑point slug over a patented plastic ball for sub‑2‑inch groups at 50 yards and decisive energy on medium game. Nickel‑plated hulls, clean propellant, and tuned 1,600 fps velocity deliver reliable function and hard‑hitting performance in the field or for property defense.
 
Key Features
TruBall Centering System: Plastic ball aligns the slug perfectly in the bore, producing consistent, tight groups from smoothbore barrels.
Hollow‑Point Rifled Slug: Expands reliably while its solid lead body drives deep for ethical, one‑shot stops.
High‑Velocity Charge: Factory‑rated 1,600 fps flattens trajectory and boosts down‑range impact.
Nickel‑Plated Hull: Corrosion‑resistant hull extracts smoothly and stands up to harsh weather.
Clean‑Burning Propellant: Consistent pressures and reduced residue help maintain accuracy over extended practice sessions.
