The 20 gauge sabot slug occupies a niche between the 12-gauge freight train and the lighter turkey loads — enough punch for whitetail and black bear inside 150 yards without the shoulder-punishing recoil of a full-bore slug. Remington’s Premier AccuTip is a bonded-core sabot slug with spiral nose cuts that initiate expansion at impact velocities from 1900 fps down to 1200 fps. The copper jacket stays bonded to the lead core through hide, muscle, and bone, and the polymer tip drives back into the slug body to start the petal opening. At 260 grains leaving the muzzle at 1900 feet per second, it carries 2078 foot-pounds of energy — more than enough for any North American deer.
Load Profile
Remington loads this slug in a 3-inch magnum shell with a Boxer primer and a roll crimp. The sabot is a two-piece polyethylene cup that engages the rifling and stabilizes the slug in flight, then separates cleanly downrange. The slug itself is a hollow-point boat-tail design — streamlined for flat trajectory and stable through crosswinds. Remington claims this is the flattest-shooting slug on the market, and the ballistic coefficient backs that up. The brass base and primer pocket make the hull reloadable for handloaders who want to work up custom loads for their specific barrel.

This ammunition is optimized for fully rifled shotgun barrels, where the lands and grooves engage the sabot and spin the slug for maximum stability and accuracy. You can fire it through a smoothbore barrel with a rifled choke tube, but expect accuracy to open up past 75 yards. The polymer tip and bonded core make this a premium hunting round — not a practice slug. Stock up on a few boxes before the season and confirm zero at 50, 75, and 100 yards.
