For big game hunters running smooth bore shotguns, the Remington Slugger 12 Gauge 3″ rifled slug offers field-proven stopping power in a traditional Foster-style projectile. A 12 gauge rifled slug is a single solid projectile, typically featuring external ribs or fins that impart stabilizing spin when fired through a smooth bore barrel. This load chambers a 7/8-ounce slug at 1875 feet per second, delivering 2988 foot-pounds at the muzzle — energy sufficient for whitetail, hogs, and black bear inside 75 yards. Remington manufactures this ammunition in the United States with boxer-primed, reloadable hulls and a roll crimp that feeds reliably in pump and semi-auto platforms.
Built for the Box
Remington sizes the Slugger projectile slightly oversized to seal tightly against the barrel wall, promoting consistent pressure curves and velocity from round to round. The rifled slug design works in smooth bore barrels, rifled choke tubes, and fully rifled barrels, though accuracy peaks in smooth bore configurations at typical deer distances. Each five-round box contains non-corrosive, boxer-primed shells with roll-crimped hulls suitable for reloading after firing.
