The Hornady 86231 is specifically crafted for use with smooth bore barrels. This product involves a 1-ounce lead alloy slug, a critical element in the Hornady American Gunner Reduced Recoil Slug design.
One of its standout characteristics is the integration of a compression style wad. This feature plays an important role in recoil reduction, meaning it softens the kickback from the weapon when fired. Additionally, it offers exceptional protection to the slug during ignition while simultaneously ensuring a seal for the bore to maintain a consistent speed.
