Overview
Designed for hunters using a rifled-barrel slug gun, this 20 gauge 2 3/4" load is intended to give a shotgun a more rifle-like role in the field. It is presented as a five-round option for hunters who want a slug setup suited to longer shots and more precise placement. The product description highlights sub-2" groups at 100 yards and a notably flat trajectory, making it a practical choice for deer season where a slug gun is required.
