Hornady American Whitetail item 86234 is the 12-gauge 1-ounce rifled slug, five to the box. This is the Foster-style hollow-point for smooth-bore barrels, not a sabot for a rifled slug gun. The slug is a tough lead-alloy hollow point; a compression wad sits behind it to protect the slug at ignition and seal the bore.

Hornady loads it to 1,600 fps. A 24-inch test barrel shows 1,600 fps and 2,484 ft-lb at the muzzle, 1,210 fps and 1,420 ft-lb at 50 yards, 997 fps at 100 yards.

This listing is the 12-gauge 1-ounce American Whitetail rifled slug, five-round box. Use it in a smooth-bore 12-gauge. It is a deer slug, not buckshot.
