Frequently Asked Questions:

Q: What are the key features of the Remington Slugger High Velocity 12 Gauge slug?

A: The Remington Slugger High Velocity 12 Gauge slug is a 3-inch shell containing a 7/8 oz (383 grain) rifled slug. It has a muzzle velocity of 1875 fps, which is 13% faster than standard 1 oz slugs. This higher velocity results in 200 ft-lbs more energy at 50 yards and a flatter trajectory compared to standard slugs.

Q: What is the intended use for this ammunition?

A: This ammunition is designed for deer hunting, particularly for hunters using smooth bore shotguns. The high velocity and rifled slug design make it effective for medium to long-range shots on deer-sized game.

Q: How many rounds come in a box?

A: Each box contains 5 rounds of ammunition.

Q: Is this ammunition suitable for all 12 gauge shotguns?

A: While this ammunition is designed for 12 gauge shotguns, it's important to note that it's a 3-inch shell. Make sure your shotgun is rated for 3-inch shells before using this ammunition. It's particularly suited for smooth bore shotguns, but can also be used in rifled barrels.

Q: What is the advantage of the rifled slug design?

A: The rifled slug design helps to stabilize the projectile in flight, especially when fired from a smooth bore shotgun. This contributes to improved accuracy and a flatter trajectory compared to non-rifled slugs.

Q: How does the recoil of this ammunition compare to standard slugs?

A: Due to its high velocity (1875 fps), this ammunition may produce more recoil than standard velocity slugs. However, the slightly lighter 7/8 oz projectile (compared to 1 oz standard slugs) may help to mitigate some of the increased recoil.
