About Remington:

Remington Arms Company, founded in 1816 by Eliphalet Remington in Ilion, New York, is one of America's oldest and largest firearms and ammunition manufacturers. With over 200 years of history, Remington has been a pioneer in firearm and ammunition technology. The company is known for its high-quality shotguns, rifles, and ammunition, including the popular Slugger line. Remington's manufacturing facilities are primarily located in the United States, with their main ammunition plant in Lonoke, Arkansas. The company has a strong commitment to innovation, having introduced the first high-velocity Foster-style lead slug. Remington's products are widely used by hunters, sport shooters, law enforcement, and military personnel. In recent years, Remington has faced some challenges, including bankruptcy and restructuring, but continues to be a significant player in the firearms and ammunition industry.

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.
