Description
The Remington Premier AccuTip combines precision engineering with field-tested reliability in a compact 20 gauge package. These bonded sabot slugs pack the performance you'd expect from a premium load while staying true to the lighter recoil and manageability that make a 20 gauge attractive for serious hunting.
What Makes the AccuTip Design Stand Out
The star of the show here is Remington's Power Port tip, a polycarbonate design that controls aerodynamic properties throughout the flight path. This balances the projectile and enhances accuracy in ways you'll notice on the range and in the field. The bonded brass jacket holds everything together even through expansion, and spiral nose cuts keep things consistent across the full velocity range. From close range to extending your effective distance, these rounds mushroom reliably while retaining over 95 percent of their weight. That means the slug does its job without breaking apart or losing energy when it matters most.
Ballistics and Accuracy from Your Rifled Barrel
At 1850 fps, the 260-grain slug develops roughly 1500 foot-pounds of energy at the muzzle, comparable to a .44 Magnum rifle round. The real advantage shows in how energy holds downrange. Sabot slugs retain 60-70 percent of their muzzle energy at 100 yards compared to just 45-50 percent with traditional rifled slugs. When you pair that with a quality rifled barrel and decent optics, hitting vital zones at distances well beyond 100 yards becomes reasonable. These rounds print tight groups consistently, which takes the guesswork out of knowing your gun is capable.
Built for Rifled Barrels Only
Make sure your shotgun has a fully rifled barrel before loading these. The sabot design separates from the slug as it leaves the muzzle, which only works properly with rifled barrels. Using sabots in a smoothbore wastes the accuracy advantage and your money. Each 5-round box gives you enough to sight in and have ammunition for the season.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use these AccuTip slugs in a smoothbore barrel?
No, these are engineered specifically for fully rifled barrels. Sabot slugs separate from the projectile and rely on the rifling to stabilize the slug and deliver accuracy. Using them in a smoothbore wastes their potential and defeats the purpose of the premium design.
How far can I effectively hunt with a 20 gauge sabot slug?
With a rifled barrel, quality optics, and good shot placement, sabot slugs are effective well beyond 100 yards. Many hunters successfully take deer at 150-200 yards. The AccuTip's 95 percent weight retention and controlled expansion mean the slug carries sufficient energy downrange to do the job reliably.
What's the difference between these AccuTip slugs and standard rifled slugs?
AccuTip sabot slugs retain significantly more energy at distance (60-70 percent at 100 yards versus 45-50 percent for standard slugs) and deliver superior accuracy from rifled barrels. The bonded construction and Power Port tip provide consistent expansion while keeping the projectile intact.
Are these good for deer hunting?
Yes. The bonded construction, high weight retention, and reliable expansion make these well-suited for deer-sized game. The accuracy advantage from the Power Port tip means tighter groups, giving you confidence in your shot placement when it counts.
