Description
Remington's Slugger line has earned its place in hunting camps across the country, and the 20-gauge version is no exception. These rifled slugs come loaded with the design improvements that make a real difference when it counts. The hollow-point design combines deep grooves that spin the slug for better accuracy with a shallow cavity that expands on impact without sacrificing penetration.
Slugger Rifled Slug Design and Accuracy
Remington engineered these slugs with a 25% accuracy improvement compared to older slug designs. The slugs are slightly oversized, which means they seal better against the barrel and deliver more consistent shot-to-shot velocities. That translates to tighter groups downrange and more confidence when you're setting up for the shot. They're designed specifically for smooth-bore barrels but work just fine in rifled choke tubes or fully rifled barrels too.
Ballistics That Work for Deer
At 1580 feet per second, the 5/8-ounce slug carries 1513 foot-pounds of energy at the muzzle. These numbers put real power behind each round, and field performance shows it. The rifled hollow-point construction ensures expansion on impact while the exposed lead helps with energy transfer where it matters most.
What You Get Per Box
The 15-round box format keeps the slugs organized and easy to carry to the field. Each shell has a non-corrosive, boxer primer and uses a roll crimp for reliable feeding. These are new production, reloadable shells if you're into that side of things.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will these slugs work in my smooth-bore shotgun?
Yes, these are designed specifically for smooth-bore barrels. The rifling on the slug itself does the spinning work instead of relying on barrel rifling. They also work in rifled choke tube barrels or fully rifled barrels if you want to use them there.
How far out can I shoot these slugs effectively?
With the 25% accuracy improvement, you'll get tighter groups than older slug designs. Most hunters find them reliable to 75 yards and capable at 100 yards with a properly sighted-in shotgun. Trajectory does drop off beyond 50 yards, so knowing your zero distance matters.
Are these slugs reloadable?
Yes, they have boxer primers and can be reloaded if you have the equipment and supplies to do so. The shells use a roll crimp and have high-strength hulls built for the reloading process.
What game are these best suited for?
These are designed for big game hunting, particularly deer. The hollow-point design expands on impact while the heavy lead construction maintains penetration through heavy bone and muscle, making them effective for a clean harvest.
