The Winchester Copper Impact 20 gauge sabot slug is a lead-free option built for deer hunters who want reliable expansion and fast knockdown. These solid copper projectiles are designed to transfer energy efficiently on impact, creating the kind of wound cavity that puts game down decisively. At 3/4 oz and 1600 fps muzzle velocity, they deliver the performance you'd expect from Winchester's slug engineering in a standard 2-3/4" shell that works in most 20 gauge shotguns.
Sabot slugs like these excel at extending effective range beyond traditional rifled slug performance. The copper Extreme Point design expands consistently, which matters when you're hunting from a stand or waiting for the right moment. Five rounds per box means each shot counts—load them knowing you have the terminal performance to match your marksmanship.
If you run a 20 gauge for deer and want the benefits of a modern expanding slug without the lead, these are worth testing in your gun. Velocity, expansion, and energy transfer are the fundamentals of a clean harvest, and Winchester's slug line has earned trust in the field over decades.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will Winchester Copper Impact slugs work in my 20 gauge shotgun?
Yes, these are loaded in standard 2-3/4" shells, the most common 20 gauge length. They'll chamber in any 20 gauge shotgun rated for 2-3/4" ammunition. Always verify your gun's markings if you're unsure.
Are these slugs good for deer hunting?
Yes. Winchester designed these specifically for deer with a solid copper expanding point that generates larger wound cavities and faster energy transfer for quick knockdown. Sabot slugs also extend effective range compared to traditional lead slugs.
What's the difference between a sabot slug and a regular slug?
Sabot slugs use a plastic cup (the sabot) that separates from the projectile after leaving the barrel. This design improves accuracy and allows higher muzzle velocities. Sabot slugs generally deliver better performance in rifled barrels and at extended range.
Why are these lead-free?
These are manufactured with solid copper instead of lead, making them compliant in areas with lead ammunition restrictions while delivering the expansion and stopping power expected from modern hunting ammunition.
