Remington Slugger High Velocity 20 Gauge ammunition (part no. R28608) loads a half-ounce rifled slug at 1800 fps, giving smoothbore shotgun deer hunters Remington’s most popular, hard-hitting slug in a faster, flatter-shooting High Velocity loading. Remington builds the Slugger slightly oversized for smoothbore barrels, sealing better against the bore wall for improved accuracy compared to a standard-diameter slug. That High Velocity loading exits the barrel 13 percent faster than a standard one-ounce slug, flattening trajectory and adding downrange energy. In shotgun shells built for the avid smoothbore deer hunter, this is the slug that has earned its reputation.
