Remington‘s Slugger line in 12 Gauge (part no. 28600) is Remington’s most popular, accurate, hard-hitting slug — slightly oversized for great smooth-bore shotgun performance, resulting in a better seal against the barrel wall for greater accuracy. This High Velocity loading adds extra downrange energy over the standard Slugger. Stock up on these shotgun shells for deer season with a smooth-bore barrel.
