The Phoenix Rising Terminator .410 Bore 2-1/2" 190-grain FMJ Slug is built for shooters who need absolute structural integrity and bone-crushing depth from a compact platform. A standard limitation with typical soft-lead or hollow-point .410 slugs is that they crush or break apart too early, drastically reducing their penetration when hitting tough targets. This heavy-duty load eliminates that weakness with a rugged Full Metal Jacket design that locks in the slug's geometry, ensuring total mass retention and deep, uninterrupted drive through dense barriers.
The technical advantage is found in its tough jacketed construction and enhanced sectional density. By fully encapsulating the lead core in a rigid metal jacket, this projectile glides through the bore without leaving accuracy-killing fouling behind. On impact, it resists expansion and cuts down drag, keeping its forward momentum on a perfectly straight line. This design allows the heavy 190-grain payload to punch directly through bone, heavy hide, and intermediate obstacles where lesser slugs would flatten out and fail.
Launching out of the muzzle at a stout 1,310 FPS, the Terminator slug maximizes downrange momentum transfer. Phoenix Rising wraps this hard-hitting payload in a uniform 2-1/2" hull with precise roll-crimping, keeping internal ballistics uniform and ensuring seamless mechanical feeding. Whether you are running a traditional semi-auto or pump shotgun, or a hybrid defensive revolver, it cycles flawlessly, extracts smoothly, and delivers reliable, barrier-blind performance with every pull of the trigger.
Key Benefits
- Full Metal Jacket Integrity: Tough copper jacket prevents premature fragmentation or deformation, ensuring 100% mass retention upon impact.
- Deep Barrier Penetration: High sectional density and zero expansion allow the slug to cut cleanly through bone, heavy hide, and defensive obstacles.
- Clean-Burning Performance: Jacketed base and advanced propellants keep your barrel and revolver cylinders free of heavy lead fouling.
- Smooth Mechanical Feeding: Precision-crimped 2-1/2" hulls minimize chamber friction for seamless feeding and positive extraction across all platforms.
