What to know about 20 gauge slugs
Foster-style rifled slugs work in smoothbore barrels and are the budget option for shotgun-zone deer hunting. Sabot slugs require a rifled shotgun barrel but deliver dramatically better accuracy — the Hornady SST 20ga is one of the most accurate slug loads available, grouping under 3" at 100 yards from a quality rifled barrel.
