Sellier & Bellot 12 gauge shotshells (brand part no. SB12SLUG) load a 1-ounce rifled slug in a 2.75-inch hull, giving deer hunters and defensive shooters a single hard-hitting projectile instead of a shot charge. The exterior rifling cuts into the slug and imparts spin as it travels down a smoothbore barrel, stabilizing the projectile in flight much the way a rifled barrel stabilizes a bullet, which is why this style of slug is built specifically for smoothbore shotguns rather than rifled-slug barrels. That stabilization gives noticeably better accuracy at hunting ranges than an unrifled slug fired from the same smoothbore gun. For 12-gauge hunters and shooters running a smoothbore barrel who want an accurate single-projectile load, this shotgun shell from Sellier & Bellot is built for exactly that.
