A shotgun slug is a heavy projectile (a slug) made of lead, copper, or other material and fired from a shotgun. Slugs are designed for hunting large game, and other uses, particularly in areas near human population where their short range and slow speed helps increase safety margin.

The most popular shotgun gauge by far is 12-gauge. The larger 10-gauge, once popular for hunting larger birds such as goose and turkey, is on the decline with the advent of the longer, "magnum" 12-gauge cartridges, which offer similar performance.
At any reasonable range, shotgun slugs make effective lethal wounds due to their tremendous mass, reducing the length of time that an animal might suffer. For example, a typical 12-gauge shotgun slug is a blunt piece of metal that could be described as an 18 mm (.729 inch) caliber that weighs 28 grams (432 grains).
A shotgun slug is typically far more massive than a rifle bullet. One common .30-06 bullet, for example, weighs 150 grains. The lightest common 12 gauge shotgun slug is the 7/8-oz slug, which weighs approximately 383 grains.
The most common size of cartridge is the 12-gauge. When measuring gauge, a smaller number means a larger cartridge: 12-gauge is larger than 20-gauge. Cartridge gauge is an old measurement.
12-gauge cartridges come in a multitude of different lengths. The most common are: 2.75-inch, 3-inch, and 3.5-inch, each with varying loads and similar ballistics. The 12-gauge cartridges also come in several loads, both birdshot and buckshot, as well as slugs.
23 Ιουλ 2018 · Sabot Slugs. In general, there are two main types of shotgun slugs: Full-bore slugs, in essence, fill up most of the bore of the shotgun as they travel down the barrel, and sabot slugs that employ a plastic sabot to engage the rifling and then drop off after it leaves the barrel, much like a wad deviates from a load of birdshot in flight.
