Remington Premier AccuTip 12 Gauge Bonded Sabot Slug — 500 Rounds

The Remington AccuTip 12 gauge is the precision deer hunting slug load in the shotgun category.

A 385-grain bonded AccuTip sabot slug at 1,850 fps and approximately 2,926 ft-lbs, designed for fully rifled barrel shotguns in deer hunting jurisdictions where rifles are not permitted.

At $2.00 per round for 500 rounds, this bulk case is a significant value against typical retail of $4.00+ per round for premium sabot slugs.

Sabot Slugs and Rifled Barrels — What You Need to Know

This load requires a fully rifled barrel. The Remington AccuTip 12 gauge AccuTip is a sabot slug — a sub-caliber projectile seated inside a plastic sabot (pronounced SAY-bo) that separates at the muzzle. The rifling in a fully rifled barrel spins the slug for stability and accuracy.

Shooting a sabot slug through a smoothbore barrel produces a tumbling, inaccurate projectile. Shooting through an improved-cylinder or modified choke produces the same result.

A full choke can cause dangerous pressure buildup. Use only with a fully rifled barrel — a dedicated slug barrel or a rifled choke tube.

AccuTip Bonded Construction

The AccuTip polymer tip initiates rapid expansion on impact. The bonded construction keeps lead core and copper jacket together through penetration.

For deer hunting, the bonded core prevents jacket separation on shoulder hits and angled shots.

The Remington AccuTip 12 gauge delivers 385 grains at 1,850 fps — approximately 2,926 ft-lbs at the muzzle.

That exceeds most centerfire rifle deer loads and is more than sufficient for ethical kills at shotgun-appropriate hunting distances.

The Slug Hunting Context

Slug hunting is required in many US jurisdictions that restrict rifles for deer hunting — primarily northeastern and midwestern states where terrain and population density govern ammunition choice.

In these zones, a fully rifled shotgun with premium sabot slugs is the legal and effective alternative to a centerfire rifle.

The Remington AccuTip 12 gauge 2¾” shell is the standard configuration, compatible with most slug-capable 12-gauge platforms.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why do sabot slugs require a rifled barrel? A sabot slug is a sub-caliber projectile inside a plastic sabot that separates at the muzzle. Without rifling to spin the projectile, it tumbles immediately and loses accuracy within 25 yards. A fully rifled barrel imparts rotational spin for stability, enabling 100+ yard accuracy. Shooting sabot slugs through a smoothbore or choke reduces accuracy to the point of being unsafe at hunting distances.

Will this work with a rifled choke tube? A rifled choke tube installed in a smoothbore barrel provides some spin but significantly less than a dedicated fully rifled barrel. Accuracy is reduced compared to a fully rifled barrel. For best accuracy, use a dedicated slug barrel with full-length rifling.

Is a full choke safe with sabot slugs? No. Sabot slugs should not be fired through a full choke — the plastic sabot may not clear before the slug encounters the choke, potentially causing dangerous pressure buildup. Use only in fully rifled barrels without choke restrictions, or as specified in your firearm’s documentation.

What is the “bonded” construction? The lead core and copper jacket are chemically bonded rather than press-fitted. On impact, the bonded jacket stays with the core through expansion and penetration — preventing jacket separation that can cause erratic terminal performance, especially on angled shots or bone contact.

How much muzzle energy does this produce? Approximately 2,926 ft-lbs (385 grains at 1,850 fps). This exceeds most centerfire rifle deer loads in muzzle energy terms and is substantial for ethical deer hunting at slug-appropriate ranges.

What ranges are realistic for slug hunting? Sabot slugs from fully rifled barrels are accurate to 150+ yards in optimal conditions; most hunters limit ethical shots to 100 yards given variable field conditions. Confirm accuracy of your specific slug and barrel combination at realistic hunting distances before the season.

How many rounds is 500? 100 × 5-round boxes.

What’s the per-round cost? $1,000 / 500 = $2.00 per round. Typical retail for premium sabot slugs runs $4.00+ per round in 5-round boxes.
