Frequently Asked Questions
Can I shoot these Remington Slugger rifled slugs through a rifled barrel or choke?
Remington Slugger Rifled Slugs are designed specifically for use in smooth-bore shotgun barrels, including those with improved cylinder or slug chokes. Shooting lead Foster-style rifled slugs through a rifled barrel can cause excessive lead fouling and may negatively affect accuracy. For rifled barrels, consider a sabot slug instead. Always consult your firearm's owner manual before selecting ammunition.
What is the effective range of the Remington 12 Gauge 3" Slugger slug?
The Remington Slugger Rifled Slug is effective on deer-sized game out to approximately 75–100 yards when fired from a smooth-bore barrel with open sights or a slug sight. The high 1,760 fps muzzle velocity and improved slug geometry help maintain a flatter trajectory and consistent energy delivery within this effective range. For longer shots, a rifled barrel with sabot slugs may be a better option.
How does the 3" magnum load compare to a standard 2¾" 12-gauge slug?
The 3" magnum Remington Slugger generates higher muzzle velocity — 1,760 fps versus approximately 1,560 fps for a standard 2¾" slug — and delivers noticeably flatter trajectory downrange, roughly 25% flatter by Remington's own testing. The trade-off is increased felt recoil. Hunters who find the magnum recoil too stiff may want to explore Remington's reduced-recoil slug offering, which provides more comfortable shooting while still delivering effective terminal performance on deer.
