Frequently Asked Questions:

Q: What are the key features of the Federal Shorty Mini 12 Gauge 1 3/4" 1 oz Rifled Slug?

A: The Federal Shorty Mini is a 12 gauge shotshell that's only 1 3/4 inches long, making it more compact than standard shells. It features a 1 oz rifled slug, which provides accuracy for slug shooting. The muzzle velocity is 1200 fps, offering good power in a small package. It comes in boxes of 10 rounds, with 10 boxes per case.

Q: What are the advantages of using these shorter shotshells?

A: The main advantage of these shorter shotshells is increased capacity in tube-fed shotguns. Their compact size allows you to load more rounds in the magazine tube. They also offer reduced recoil compared to full-size slugs, making them more comfortable to shoot, especially for smaller-framed shooters or during extended range sessions.

Q: Are these shells compatible with all 12 gauge shotguns?

A: While these shells will physically fit in any 12 gauge shotgun, they may not cycle reliably in all semi-automatic or pump-action shotguns due to their shorter length. They work best in shotguns specifically designed or modified for mini shells. Always consult your shotgun's manual or manufacturer before using mini shells.

Q: What is the effective range of these slugs?

A: The effective range of these mini slugs is typically around 50-75 yards. While they have less energy than full-size slugs due to their lighter weight and shorter barrel time, they can still be effective for close to medium-range shooting.

Q: Can these mini shells be used for hunting?

A: While these mini shells can be used for hunting in areas where slugs are legal, it's important to check local hunting regulations. Some jurisdictions may have minimum length requirements for shotgun shells used in hunting. These shells are often better suited for target shooting, home defense, or small game hunting at closer ranges.
