Is there lead in the center? Looking for a California compliant hunter round for deer.

From Hornaday website https://www.hornady.com/ammunition/shotgun/12-ga-superformance-reg-slug-300-gr-monoflex-reg#!/ The Superformance® Shotgun slug can be used in areas with lead restrictions, afford maximum penetration, and is capable of taking everything from Midwest whitetails to Alaskan moose. Also unless I missed something I don't think shotgun shells have the same restrictions as regular ammo "California bans the manufacture, importation, sale, offer for sale, or knowing possession or transportation of handgun ammunition designed primarily to penetrate metal or armor.28 This ban applies to any ammunition (except a shotgun shell or ammunition primarily designed for use in rifles) " https://giffords.org/lawcenter/state-laws/ammunition-regulation-in-california/ You should be good to go either way

You can hunt in CA? I thought you could only use sticks and rocks.

Gary, yes Sir the Bullet Core is Lead. I would look at the Brenneke Lead Free (in stock) here : https://www.centuryarms.com/brenneke-usa-t-k-o-12-gauge-ammunition-5-rounds-2-3-4-2-3-oz-rifled-slug-lead-free-2001-fps.html

What do you mean by a fully rifled barrel

Dale, a fully rifled shotgun barrel has rifling instead of the normal smooth bore to stabilize the bullet for best accuracy. Cheers and stay safe!

I READ ON ITEM SPECIFICATION THAT ONLY CAN BE USED ON FULLY RIFLED BARREL.. ?SO CAN'T IT BE USED WITH CHOKE RIFLED TUBE IN SHOT GUNS

yes it can be used with a rifled tube and even a smoothbore barrel. accuracy will be best in a full rifled barrel.

Trying to see what the FPS is on these. My rifled shotgun has a 1 in 35" twist and I've seen the best performance for shotguns that have between 1 in 34" twist work best with 1200-1500 fps and shotguns with 1 in 30" perform best with 1900-2000 fps. Looking for the perfect round that will give the sabot proper spin for my shotgun. Thanks in advance.

2000fps Hornady makes superb ammo just about any use. This 12 Gauge SST Sabot Slug round comes in a 2-3/4" shell with an innovative 300 grain FTX projectile lead and fires it at a blistering 2000 fps. It's an excellent round for hunting medium game, personal defense, or law enforcement. The SST Shotgun Slug delivers true 200 yard accuracy and you'll achieve sub-2" groups at 100 yards. No other slug gun ammo can come close to the performance of the SST. The sharp point increases the ballistic coefficient of the FTX, allowing it to fly faster, farther and on a flatter trajectory. On impact, the Flex Tip initiates expansion at all velocities.

SST Sabot shotgun slugs take the proven performance of the super accurate SST bullet and transforms it into your favorite rifled barrel slug gun that out performs some centerfire rifles.

The Hornady SST Sabot slugs arrived in the usual fashion, fast and secure. I haven’t had a chance to shoot any of them yet because I just now got the mount put on my rifled Remington 870. I bought them on the recommendation of one of my best friends who shoots them exclusively for feral hogs. In his Mossberg, he is confident to 100 yards on hogs. He said it puts them down within 20/30 yards. We strive for quick kills with no hogs lost and I’m certain these slugs will do that.

I bought 100 rounds of this stuff and for 100 rounds I had to strike my sabots twice. Won’t ever buy these again. Shooting federal power shock sabots now
