Explore Our Shotgun Slug Selection
Browse our extensive collection of shotgun slug ammo, including popular varieties from leading brands such as Remington, Hornady or Challenger. From traditional rifled slugs to advanced sabot slugs, each design is intended for a specific barrel configuration. Rifled slugs are generally designed for compatible smoothbore barrels, while sabot slugs are typically intended for fully rifled barrels. Explore available shotshell options, including Foster-style slugs, sabot designs and other single-projectile loads.
Unlike birdshot or buckshot, a slug uses a single projectile rather than multiple pellets. The appropriate design depends on your firearm, its chamber and its barrel configuration.
Shotgun Slug Gauges and Their Uses
The correct shotgun slug gauge or bore size depends on your firearm, preferred recoil level and intended application. Always confirm the gauge, shell length and barrel compatibility before selecting ammunition.
10 Gauge Shotgun Slugs
The 10 gauge is associated with substantial recoil and muzzle energy. These loads serve specialized applications and are generally better suited to experienced shooters using a compatible shotgun.
Availability is usually more limited than for 12 gauge shells. Always consult the firearm and ammunition manufacturers’ specifications before use.
12 Gauge Shotgun Slugs
The 12-gauge shotgun remains one of the most common and versatile platforms for slug ammunition. Available loads may include rifled, Foster-style, and saboted slugs in several projectile weights.
A 12-gauge slug may be suitable for hunting or target shooting when permitted and properly matched to the firearm. Some loads use a projectile weighing approximately 1 oz, while others use different weights and designs.
16 Gauge Shotgun Slugs
The 16 gauge sits between the 12 gauge and the 20 gauge in terms of bore diameter. Felt recoil varies depending on the firearm, projectile weight and load. Slug selection may be more limited, but compatible loads remain available for certain firearms.
Check the chamber length and shotgun barrel markings carefully before purchasing a 16-gauge shotgun shell.
20 Gauge Shotgun Slugs
The 20-gauge slug is often selected by shooters seeking a lighter firearm and more manageable recoil. Both rifled and saboted designs may be available.
Saboted slugs are typically designed for rifled-bore shotguns. The sabot, or plastic carrier, engages the barrel’s rifling and normally separates from the projectile shortly after both leave the muzzle.
.410 Bore Shotgun Slugs
The .410 uses a smaller projectile and serves more specific applications. Compatibility, practical range and local regulations should always guide the selection.
Because .410 slug choices can vary, confirm the exact chamber length and manufacturer recommendations before use.
Buckshot vs. Shotgun Slugs
Buckshot and slugs serve different purposes. A load of buckshot contains multiple large pellets, while a slug launches one large projectile.
This difference affects pattern, effective range and target performance. Neither option should be selected without considering the type of shotgun, barrel, choke and intended use.

Shotgun Slug FAQ
What's the difference between sabot slugs and rifled slugs?
Sabot slugs are typically designed for rifled barrels. Rifled slugs are generally intended for compatible smoothbore barrels and feature external grooves. Always follow the ammunition and firearm manufacturers’ recommendations.
What’s the Difference Between Buckshot and Slugs?
Buckshot uses multiple projectiles that spread after leaving the muzzle. A shotgun slug uses one large projectile and is selected for different hunting or target applications.
Can regular shotguns shoot slugs?
Yes. Some shotguns can safely fire compatible slugs, but not every slug suits every firearm or barrel. Always verify the gauge, chamber, choke tube and manufacturer guidelines first.
How does a shotgun slug stay stable in flight?
Different slug designs stabilize the slug in different ways. Rifled slugs are generally stabilized by their forward-weighted design and aerodynamic characteristics when fired from compatible smoothbore barrels.
Their external grooves also allow the projectile to pass safely through compatible choke constrictions. Sabot slugs rely on a rifled barrel to impart spin to the projectile before the sabot separates after leaving the muzzle.
