Remington Slugger Ammunition 12 Gauge 3" 7/8 oz High Velocity Rifled Slug Box of 5

The Remington Slugger High Velocity 12 Gauge 3" rifled slug rounds the venerable Foster-style slug with genuine performance gains for deer hunters running smoothbore shotguns. At 7/8 oz, this lighter projectile launches significantly faster than the traditional 1 oz slug—we're talking about meaningful velocity that translates to a flatter shooting arc and real energy retention downrange. If you've been running standard slug loads and wondering whether a switch makes sense, the numbers justify the move: this is the ammunition that proves lighter, faster can absolutely outperform heavier, slower on live game.

Smoothbore shotgun hunters pursuing whitetail often wrestle with holdover and energy fade at mid-range. Remington Slugger High Velocity ammunition addresses both concerns by pushing the 7/8 oz rifled slug to higher velocity than conventional loads. The result is a noticeably flatter trajectory and additional foot-pounds of energy at 50 yards—advantages that matter most when your shot window opens at 40–60 yards, which is real-world deer hunting on public land and in thick cover. This is ammunition built specifically for the avid hunter who knows their smoothbore's capability and wants to maximize its effective range.

Each box contains five rounds of Remington's proven rifled slug design in the 3" 12-gauge hull. This is working ammunition for the season, not target practice; match it to your shotgun's choke and shooting style, pattern it before the opener, and hunt with confidence.
