Rifled Slug Load:
A shotgun shell loaded with a solid lead bullet.
Slugs are huge hunks of soft lead, grooved on the sides. The purpose of the grooves is to minimize friction in the bore and to give the slug the ability to easily compress and pass through a choked barrel. Contrary to popular belief, the grooves actually impart little or no spin to the slug as it travels through the air, and therefore don't really contribute to stability in flight. Rifled slugs can be fired through a smoothbore barrel with reasonable accuracy at a moderate range of 75 yards or so. They have enormous stopping capability. Because slug loads must be carefully aimed like a rifle or handgun, their use detracts from the shotgun's main advantage: superior hit probability with pellets.
