Overview
Designed for .410 Bore users who want a defensive slug load, this round pairs a 185-grain projectile with a half copper-coated construction. The copper coating covers the sides and back of the slug, reducing friction compared with a standard naked lead projectile. Phoenix positions it for high-velocity travel and expansion on impact, making it a purpose-built option for close-range defense against threats. It is a specialized load rather than a general-purpose .410 shell, so it suits shooters looking for a dedicated slug option in a compact gauge.
