1.25oz slug, 1600 fps. 2.5" expansion. They also have much larger 2.25oz slugs traveling at 1200 fps. You’d need a serious powder charge to get that beast moving. Recoil would be harsh, I’m guessing. That one breaks into (6) 158gr triangular pieces spreading about 15° from original POI. They don’t penetrate very deep, but the center part (which ensures reliable expansion) penetrates deeper than the main portion of the slug itself. They would indubitably leave a pretty grievous wound behind. While I don't reload according to the manufacturer the brass is good for up to 1000 reloads.
It looks expensive. Are you familiar with the RIP ammunition? Its basically the same design. I think they make 9mm, 40, and 45 and I want to say it's like $2 a round.

I agree with Rick Lee though, I wouldn't want to use it for anything other than messing around with.
