HRNDY AG 12GA 2.75″ 1 OZ SLUG 5/100

Description

Hornady’s American Gunner line was built for shooters who want a single load that works equally well for home defense and hunting deer-sized game at practical shotgun distances. This 12 Gauge rifled slug load is a solid choice for either role, and the reduced-recoil design makes a meaningful difference for those running semi-automatic shotguns: lower chamber pressure cycles most gas-operated actions reliably while keeping muzzle rise manageable enough for a fast follow-up shot.

The rifled lead slug is swaged rather than cast, which produces a more uniform bearing surface and tighter dimensional consistency from round to round. That matters for slug accuracy, where small deviations in projectile geometry translate directly to point-of-impact shifts at distance. The one-ounce slug weight sits in the middle of the practical range for 12 Gauge defensive and hunting use — enough mass to deliver decisive terminal performance without the excessive recoil penalty that heavier loads carry.

Hornady matches each primer to the specific powder charge in this load, which helps ensure consistent ignition across a range of temperatures. Cold-weather reliability is a real consideration for any slug load used in hunting conditions, and that primer-to-powder matching is part of how Hornady controls velocity consistency lot to lot. The 2-3/4″ shell length fits any standard 12 Gauge chamber and is compatible with the widest range of pump and semi-automatic shotguns. Each box contains five rounds.
