Frequently Asked Questions

Does this slug require a rifled barrel? No, it is a rifled slug designed to shoot accurately from a smoothbore barrel, though it also works through a rifled barrel.

What range is this slug effective to? Sabot slugs through a rifled barrel are commonly accurate out to 150 yards or more; rifled slugs through a smoothbore are typically more effective inside 75-100 yards.

Is a slug or buckshot better for deer hunting? A slug delivers one larger, more precise projectile suited to longer or more open shots, while buckshot spreads several pellets for close-range coverage.
