Lightfield Ammunition Corporation specializes in manufacturing the hardest hitting, most accurate saboted slugs available to today's hunters for use in their rifled shotgun barrels. The various slugs that make up the Lightfield product line utilize two distinctly innovative designs, each design functioning similarly to the other to produce superior accuracy even at extended ranges.

| The Lightfield Hybred EXP Design | |
 |
 |
|
The
Lightfield Hybred EXP (Maximum Expansion) cartridge has a two-sided
sabot that keys to four tabs on the slug itself
[1][2].
|
|
 When
the shell is fired the pressure pushes the wad forward, locking the
slug and sabot together, and forces the locked sabot/slug assembly
to expand to the full barrel diameter and spin together as one unit
[3]. |
Just like a badminton  birdie
the lighter wador 'shuttlecock' stays attached to the slug while in
flight, giving the projectile stability while supersonic and prevents
shockwave deflection when the projectile becomes subsonic [4].
|
| Upon impact the maximum expansion of the soft lead slug (essentially a .62 caliber bullet) produces devastatingly lethal results. The Lightfield Hybred EXP is "The Standard by Which Other Slugs are Judged.". | |
|
The
Lightfield Commander IDS Design
The patented Lightfield Commander IDS technology is now available to the hunter and shooting enthusiast who hand load their own ammunition. |
|
 The
Lightfield Commander IDS (Impact Discarding Sabot) cartridge has a
sabot with four grooves on the inside [1].
|
When
the s hell
is fired the pressure causes lead from the slug to expand into these
grooves, effectively locking the slug and sabot together, and forces
the locked sabot/slug assembly to expand to the full barrel diameter
and spin together as one unit [2].
|
The
LightfieldIDS stays together  as
one projectile while in flight and,just like a badminton birdie, the
lighter sabot gives the projectile stability while supersonic and
prevents shockwave deflection when the projectile becomes subsonic
[3]. |
Uponimpact,the
soft lead actually mushrooms out  of
the top of the slug, producing controlled expansion. When you hit
a big game animal with what is essentially a .73 caliber bullet, the
results are devastatingly lethal [4]. |
Lightfield
Calls It
"Devastating Deer Performance"
During that all-important split second immediately after a slug is fired and prior to its exiting the barrel, each design ensures that maximum spin is imparted to the locked sabot/slug assembly. Once free of the gun barrel the designs produce incredible projectile stability through both the supersonic and especially the subsonic phases of the slug's flight. Maximized projectile spin rate and flight stability are the most important factors when incomparable consistency and accuracy are the goals.
The Technology Behind the Design
Did you know that same-gauge shotgun bore sizes vary significantly from barrel to barrel and manufacturer to manufacturer? Because of this bore size problem, it is virtually impossible to shoot accurate groups using typical slugs, especially at longer distances. The Lightfield slug eliminates the inherent inaccuracy associated with this bore size variation limitation through its innovative design. When fired, the pressure build-up behind the projectile forces the locked slug/sabot assembly to expand to the actual full bore size of all shotgun barrels regardless of the manufacturer. Once expanded, the locked sabot/slug assembly takes full advantage of the barrel rifling, maximizes spin and ensures an incredibly accurate flight path.
