Frequently Asked Questions
How does Hornady Custom Lite reduce recoil compared to standard 20-gauge slugs?
Hornady Custom Lite loads are specifically engineered with lower powder charges and optimized propellant blends to reduce felt recoil and muzzle blast. The 250-grain FTX slug at 1,600 fps still delivers excellent terminal performance for hunting and defense, but the reduced recoil makes it significantly more comfortable to shoot — especially for youth, smaller-framed shooters, or anyone sensitive to heavy recoil.
Is this slug accurate enough for deer hunting at typical ranges?
Yes. The Hornady FTX slug features a streamlined profile and flexible polymer tip that promotes in-flight stability and consistent expansion on impact. At typical shotgun hunting ranges of 50–100 yards, this load provides the accuracy and terminal energy needed for ethical deer hunting. For best results, pattern your specific shotgun and choke combination before heading into the field.
Will this 2¾-inch shell cycle reliably in my semi-automatic 20-gauge shotgun?
Most modern semi-automatic 20-gauge shotguns are designed to cycle a range of loads, but reduced-recoil ammunition can occasionally cause cycling issues in gas-operated actions that are tuned for full-power loads. It's recommended to test this load in your specific firearm before relying on it. Pump-action shotguns will cycle any 2¾-inch shell without issue. Always consult your owner's manual for recommended load specifications.
