ABSTRACT:
A slug assembly is disclosed which is easily reloadable and which has enhanced features for achieving an accurate and dependable flight path when fired from a firearm. The slug assembly includes a hull, a projectile assembly, and a wad assembly, wherein the projectile assembly and wad assembly are secured within a cavity formed in the hull. The wad assembly includes an overpowder cup having a predetermined volume for receiving, measuring and retaining in the hull cavity a predetermined quantity of propulsive charge. The projectile assembly includes a break away area having a predetermined tensile strength such that the projectile assembly is structurally weakest at the break away area, wherein at a predetermined time after ignition of the propulsive charge inside the hull, the projectile assembly tears at the break away area. The present invention includes the slug assembly, and also includes the hull, the projectile assembly, and the wad assembly which comprise the slug assembly.
