5 Rounds of 12ga Ammo by Remington - 7/8 ounce Rifled Slug

This 12 Gauge shell by Remington features a ⅞ ounce Foster-style slug. Designed to be fired through a smoothbore barrel, this slug sports ribs on its outside in order to minimize friction with the bore upon firing. (Contrary to popular belief, these ribs do not convey gyroscopic stabilization as a regularly rifled bore would.) This slug is ever so slightly oversized so as to give even better performance within a smoothbore, as it will seal better against the barrel’s wall to deliver more consistent velocities. It will perform admirably in a fully rifled barrel as well.

An additional feature of this type of slug is the deep hollow in its rear, which places its center of mass toward its front to stabilize it, much as in a shuttlecock. With its muzzle velocity of 1,875 fps, this slug is a great bet for hunting in areas where it would be illegal or otherwise unsafe to fire rifle cartridges that could travel into populated areas. At less than one dollar a piece, this box of five is a perfect way to test these shells out for yourself. If they meet the only standards that matter -- your own -- then we’ll happily send you more!
