HORNADY SUPERFORMANCE - 12 GA - 2.75" - SLUG - 300 GR - 5 RDS/BOX
The Hornady Superformance 12 Gauge Slug delivers deer-season stopping power through an innovative MonoFlex projectile and industry-leading Flex Tip technology, making it one of the most accurate and hard-hitting shotgun slug loads available today.
- MonoFlex slug retains 95% of original weight for deep, reliable penetration
- Flex Tip design initiates uniform expansion even at lower impact velocities
- Screaming 1,950 fps muzzle velocity for a flat, predictable trajectory
- One-piece copper alloy construction eliminates core-jacket separation
- 2¾-inch shell with 300-grain projectile balances power and shootability
- Packed 5 rounds per box for focused range sessions or a day's hunt
Who This Is For
This load is purpose-built for whitetail and mule deer hunters who rely on a shotgun in slug-only zones and demand maximum terminal performance at distances out to 150 yards. It's equally at home with experienced shooters who want a premium, match-grade slug for accuracy testing and load development in rifled barrels.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is this slug designed for rifled or smooth-bore shotgun barrels?
The Hornady Superformance MonoFlex slug is optimized for use in fully rifled barrels, which impart spin stabilization to the projectile and allow it to achieve its advertised accuracy potential at ranges up to 150 yards. While it can be fired through a smooth-bore barrel with an improved-cylinder or rifled choke tube, performance and accuracy will be reduced. For best results, pair this ammunition with a dedicated slug gun featuring a fully rifled barrel.
What makes the MonoFlex slug different from a traditional lead foster slug?
Unlike a conventional lead Foster slug, the MonoFlex is a one-piece copper alloy projectile that will not separate, shed petals, or lose its core upon impact. The Flex Tip insert in the hollow cavity acts as a mechanical catalyst, forcing the nose to expand uniformly even at reduced velocities — critical for shots at longer ranges where energy has diminished. The result is a wider, more consistent wound channel and deep penetration compared to traditional lead slugs.
How does the 300-grain, 1,950 fps load compare in felt recoil to standard slug loads?
At 1,950 fps, the Superformance slug is a high-velocity, high-energy load and does produce noticeable recoil — comparable to other premium 12-gauge slug offerings in the 1,800–2,000 fps range. Shooters sensitive to recoil will benefit from a gas-operated semi-automatic shotgun, which softens the impulse significantly. A quality recoil pad is also recommended for extended range sessions. Despite the recoil, many hunters find the flat trajectory and terminal performance well worth it for ethical, clean harvests at distance.
