Gauge: This shotgun slug is intended for use with 20-gauge shotguns. The gauge represents the bore size of the shotgun, and 20-gauge is smaller than 12-gauge, making it a lighter and potentially more manageable option, especially for hunters.
Shell Length: The slug is designed for use with 2-3/4 inch shotgun shells. The shell length indicates the overall length of the ammunition. In this case, the slug is compatible with 2-3/4 inch shotgun shells.
Slug Weight: The slug has a weight of 3/4 ounce. Slug weight affects factors such as recoil, trajectory, and terminal ballistics.
Sabot Slug: The mention of "sabot slug" indicates that this shotgun slug is designed with a plastic sabot (a type of sleeve) around it. Sabot slugs are known for their accuracy and are often used in rifled shotgun barrels.
Quantity: The product typically includes 5 rounds of shotgun slugs per box. This quantity is standard for many shotgun ammunition boxes.
Usage: Shotgun slugs like these are often used for hunting larger game, such as deer. They offer improved accuracy and stopping power compared to traditional birdshot loads.

The 20-gauge follows the 12-gauge as America's second-most popular shotgun gauge. And, with modern shotshells, continues to gain ground. The 20-gauge has a bore diameter of .615-inch, with modern shells in either 2 3/4 "standard" or 3-inch "magnum" length. Most modern shotguns are chambered to handle both. Payloads vary from light-recoiling 5/8-ounce loads all the way to heavy turkey loads carrying 1 5/16 ounces of shot. Standard 2 3/4" loads for targets and upland birds are normally 7/8 or one ounce. At its very best the 20-gauge does not have the capability of a 12-gauge...but with modern shot, wad columns, and chokes it doesn't give up much, and it can be built into a much lighter shotgun developing less recoil. Virtually all manufacturers offer 20-gauge guns, and they are available in all action types and for virtually all shotgunning sports. The 20-gauge joins the 12, 28, and .410 as one of four events in skeet competition, and is becoming increasingly popular for sporting clays.
