I was comparing the ballistics between Federal Cartridge's generic 12 gauge one-ounce foster slug loading, and their Tru-Ball one-ounce foster slug loading. Here's the ballistic chart on Federal's website. You can click and do a side-by-side comparision of the full-power standard and Tru-Ball slug loads. I compared load F127RS against load PB127RS:

It looks like the velocity on the Tru-Ball rifled slug drops off at a significantly faster rate than the standard foster slug does. Has anyone noticed any practical difference in performance between the two loads? I've observed that a crosswind seems to effect the Tru-Ball round a little more than the generic slugs, especially at 50 yards and beyond.
I'm not sure where the supposed velocity loss goes. The mid-range trajectory, at least according to the factory's figures, shows little practical difference between the loads.
