Check out the energy delivered by our Green Lightning—approaching that of many centerfire cartridges—and you’ll see why so many deer have checked out because of them. In independent tests, Green Lightning’s penetration surpassed competitive slugs from Hornady®, Lightfield®, Remington®, Winchester® and Wolf® from a minimum of 25% to a whopping 67%. At 100 yards, its accuracy (five-shot groups) was an impressive 2.95”. Most of the others, much worse. See page 5 for more details. One of our heaviest slugs, at 1 1/4 oz., delivers devastating power at longer distances. The distinctive green coating helps reduce barrel fouling, too. Not that you should need more than one shot.

You will never feel under-gunned with our Green Lightning, built around one of the heaviest 20 gauge slugs on the market. Even with the knockdown power our weight-forward design produces—10% larger than a .50 caliber rifle bullet— it has a very flat trajectory meaning you only need to aim where you want it to go. Accuracy is exceptional, capable of five-shot groups under two inches at 50 yards…from rifled or smoothbore barrels. The 20 gauge shooter can take to the field with full confidence that he or she is shooting one of the most deadly, efficient slugs in the world.
