Hornady SST 12ga 2.75", 300gr SST Slug, 100rd Case

Hornady SST 12 Gauge 2-3/4-Inch 300 Gr FTX Slug 100-Round Case

This 100-round case of Hornady SST 12 Gauge ammunition gives rifled-barrel slug hunters a substantial quantity of the same 2-3/4-inch, 300 grain FTX load for zero confirmation, trajectory work, training, and field preparation. Hornady SST slugs combine a pointed, high-ballistic-coefficient projectile with patented Flex Tip technology to deliver a flatter practical trajectory, strong retained energy, and reliable expansion performance from a fully rifled slug gun.

The larger 100-round case quantity is suited to buyers who want to standardize around one specialized slug configuration instead of repeatedly sourcing small quantities. It provides the ammunition volume needed to establish confidence in the firearm, optic, zero, and hold references before the hunting season or a high-priority field application.

Standardize a rifled slug gun with a consistent, high-performance hunting load. Confirm the shotgun's barrel and chamber requirements, then order the 100-round Hornady SST case from BattleHawk Armory.

300 Grain FTX Slug with Flex Tip Technology

The 300 grain FTX projectile uses a sharp polymer tip and aerodynamic profile to increase ballistic efficiency. A more efficient nose shape helps the projectile retain velocity and follow a flatter path than blunt conventional slugs as range increases. For the shooter, that means a more manageable trajectory and clearer distance verification when the slug gun is carefully zeroed.

The Flex Tip also serves a terminal role. On impact, the polymer tip is designed to compress into the projectile and initiate expansion. This combination of efficient flight and expansion-focused construction makes the load a purpose-built hunting option rather than a general practice slug. Practical field results still depend on impact velocity, placement, target angle, and the individual firearm.

Built Exclusively for Fully Rifled Barrels

Hornady SST shotgun slugs are designed for use in fully rifled barrels only. The barrel's rifling stabilizes the projectile and is a required part of the accuracy system. A shotgun chambered for 12 Gauge 2-3/4-inch shells is not automatically the correct host; the barrel type and the firearm maker's ammunition guidance must also match the load.

This is not a smoothbore rifled-slug configuration. Before use, verify the shotgun has a fully rifled barrel, accepts 2-3/4-inch 12 Gauge ammunition, and is in serviceable condition. Follow the owner's manual for inspection, loading, maintenance, and sighting procedures.

Long-Range Slug Accuracy and Retained Energy

The SST slug line is engineered for sub-2-inch groups at 100 yards and true 200-yard accuracy from a suitable rifled slug gun. The 12 Gauge 300 grain FTX projectile carries a listed 1793 ft-lb of energy at 100 yards. Those specifications support a sophisticated hunting system that can extend practical capability when the shooter, firearm, optic, and conditions are equal to the distance.

Published accuracy is not a guarantee from every shotgun. Barrel manufacturing, twist, chamber dimensions, optic mounting, recoil management, rest quality, ammunition lot, and weather can all affect group size and point of impact. Use the case quantity to confirm zero at measured distances and establish real trajectory data for the individual shotgun rather than relying only on a generic drop estimate.

100-Round Case for a Standardized Slug-Gun Program

A 100-round case gives the buyer enough ammunition to do more than fire a minimal confirmation group. It supports an initial zero, follow-up verification, practice from field positions, cold-bore checks, and retained ammunition for hunting use. Standardizing on the same projectile weight and load architecture also helps avoid the large point-of-impact shifts that can occur when switching between unrelated slug designs.

The case quantity is especially useful for households, hunting groups, and serious slug-gun users who operate more than one compatible firearm. Each shotgun should still be tested independently. Two barrels of the same model can produce different accuracy, velocity, and zero results with the same ammunition.

Storage and Ammunition Management

Keep the case in a cool, dry area away from excessive heat, moisture, impact, and unauthorized access. Retain the original load identification with the ammunition so the exact item, shell length, gauge, and projectile weight remain clear. Inspect every shotshell before loading and set aside any round that shows damage, contamination, or an abnormal condition.

When preparing for the field, separate zeroing ammunition from carried ammunition in a manner that preserves load identity. Do not mix 2-3/4-inch SST rounds with visually similar shells of another length, projectile, or barrel requirement.

Frequently Asked Questions

How many rounds are included in this case?

This listing is for a 100-round case of Hornady SST 12 Gauge 2-3/4-inch 300 grain FTX slug ammunition.

Is this the same load as the five-round Hornady SST box?

Yes. The cartridge configuration is the Hornady item 8623 12 Gauge 2-3/4-inch 300 grain FTX SST slug. The primary difference is the 100-round case quantity.

Can these SST slugs be used in a smoothbore shotgun?

No. Hornady SST shotgun slugs are designed for fully rifled barrels only. Confirm barrel type and chamber compatibility before use.

What accuracy is the Hornady SST slug designed to provide?

The SST line is engineered for sub-2-inch groups at 100 yards and 200-yard accuracy from a suitable fully rifled slug gun. Actual results depend on the firearm, optic, zero, shooter, ammunition lot, and conditions.

Why buy the 100-round case instead of a small box?

The case quantity supports a complete zeroing and verification process, practice from realistic positions, and a reserve of the same specialized hunting load without repeatedly purchasing smaller quantities.

Purchase the Hornady SST 12 Gauge 300 Gr FTX 100-round case at BattleHawk Armory. Equip a fully rifled slug gun with a mission-ready ammunition supply for zeroing, practice, and hunting use.
