The Remington Slugger Managed-Recoil 12 Gauge 2-3/4in Rifled Slug (part no. 20290) loads a 1-ounce rifled slug built to soften recoil without giving up the accuracy Remington’s Slugger line is known for. It cuts felt recoil by roughly 45 percent compared to Remington’s standard high-velocity Slugger loads, while still delivering effective energy out to 80 yards. That combination makes it a natural fit for shotgun deer hunters, new hunters, and anyone who wants a comfortable-shooting slug for a day in the stand. Remington backs the round with decades of experience building one of the most trusted slug lines in American shotgunning.
