The Phoenix Rising TSS Armor-Piercing AP Hybrid 12 Gauge 2-3/4" 630-grain Slug is engineered for tactical operators who require absolute barrier-blind performance. Standard lead slugs are soft, meaning they immediately pancake, fragment, and lose their energy the second they hit hard materials. This heavy-duty round eliminates that weakness by incorporating a Tungsten Super Shot (TSS) composite core. Because the core refuses to deform, the slug channels 100% of its kinetic energy forward, smashing through dense obstacles rather than flattening on them.
The technical advantage is found in advanced metallurgy and momentum preservation. Traditional slugs simply lack the hardness and density needed to survive high-stress collisions. By utilizing a tungsten-based core that is nearly twice as dense as lead and significantly harder than tool steel, this slug maintains its perfect shape upon impact. This extreme structural rigidity allows the heavy 630-grain payload to cut straight through tough, intermediate barriers on a perfectly linear path without losing its destructive downrange momentum.
Launching a massive 630-grain hybrid projectile at a powerful 1,400 FPS, this load translates raw weight and speed into deep, uninterrupted penetration. Phoenix Rising wraps this hard-hitting tungsten payload in a specialized, fully encapsulating flight wad. This protective wad system stabilizes the slug for predictable, match-grade accuracy downrange while shielding your shotgun bore from abrasive tungsten wear, ensuring flawless cycling and absolute reliability when defeating hard targets.
Key Benefits
- Tungsten AP Composite Core: Ultra-hard tungsten core prevents structural collapse on impact, ensuring 100% mass retention through dense barriers.
- True Barrier-Blind Penetration: Extreme material hardness cuts straight through heavy shielding and intermediate obstacles where lead would pancake.
- Massive 630-Grain Payload: Combines high-mass momentum with an optimized velocity profile for crushing kinetic energy delivery.
- Advanced Flight Wad Shielding: Specialized thick wad completely encloses the projectile to eliminate barrel wear and ensure tight, repeatable accuracy.
