What Are 20 Gauge Slugs Good For?

Here are some popular uses for a 20-gauge slug:

• Deer Hunting: 20 gauge slugs are commonly used for hunting deer, especially in areas where the use of rifles is restricted or prohibited. They offer the necessary accuracy and stopping power to take down deer effectively.
• Home Defense: In situations where a shotgun is chosen for home defense, 20 gauge slugs can be an excellent choice. They provide significant stopping power and can be more accurate at close ranges than traditional shotgun pellets.
• Medium to Large Game Hunting: While they may not have the range and power of larger gauge shotgun slugs, 20 gauge slugs can be used for hunting medium-sized game such as hogs, black bears, and coyotes.
• Target Shooting: Some shooters enjoy using 20 gauge slugs for target shooting and improving their accuracy. The controlled recoil of 20 gauge ammunition makes it more manageable for extended shooting sessions.
• Reduced Recoil for Smaller Shooters: The 20 gauge shotgun typically has less recoil than 12 gauge shotguns, making it a good choice for smaller or less experienced shooters who may find larger gauges uncomfortable to shoot.
• Versatility: 20 gauge slugs are versatile because they can be used in both smoothbore and rifled shotgun barrels. Rifled slugs are designed for rifled barrels to improve accuracy, while sabot slugs can be used in smoothbore barrels with accuracy and power.

What Is the Effective Range of a 20 Gauge Sabot Slug?

Generally, a 20 gauge sabot slug is effective at distances up to 100 yards or more. However, your shotgun barrel type, specific 20 gauge sabot slug type, sighting system, and shooting skills can all impact your maximum effective range with a 20ga sabot slug.

What Is the Effective Range of a 20 Gauge Rifled Slug?

For most marksmen, a 20 gauge rifled slug is effective at shorter to medium ranges, typically up to 75 yards. However, like sabot slugs, the max effective range of a 20ga rifled slug depends on your shooting skills, shotgun barrel type, specific ammo type, and sighting setup.
