Frequently Asked Questions
Can I shoot these Remington Slugger slugs through a smooth-bore shotgun barrel?
Yes. Remington Slugger rifled slugs are a Foster-style design with pre-cut rifling on the slug itself, which allows them to be fired safely and accurately through smooth-bore barrels, including those with Improved Cylinder or Modified chokes. They are also compatible with fully rifled barrels, though a sabot slug is generally preferred for maximum accuracy in dedicated rifled slug barrels.
Is this load suitable for deer hunting, and what kind of performance can I expect?
Absolutely. The Remington Slugger 1 oz. rifled slug is one of the most popular deer hunting loads in North America. At close to moderate ranges (typically inside 75–100 yards), it delivers authoritative knockdown energy with reliable expansion. The redesigned slug geometry improves downrange accuracy, making ethical shots on whitetail deer more consistent when using a properly zeroed shotgun.
How should I store unused shotgun slugs to maintain their reliability?
Store Remington Slugger ammunition in a cool, dry location away from direct sunlight, extreme heat, and humidity. Keep shells in their original box until ready for use, and avoid storing ammunition near solvents or chemicals. Proper storage conditions will preserve primer sensitivity and powder integrity for years, ensuring consistent ignition and performance when you need it most.
