ROTTWEIL EXACT AMMUNITION - 20 GAUGE - 2 3/4" - LEAD 15/16 - 5 ROUNDS

The Rottweil Exact Slug is a premium German-made saboted slug widely regarded as one of the most accurate and consistent 20-gauge slugs available — especially when fired from a rifled barrel, but still very effective in smoothbore shotguns.

Each shell contains a 15/16 oz (≈410 grain) Exact Slug — a modern saboted design featuring:

• Precision lead core encased in a plastic sabot
• Aerodynamic spitzer (pointed) nose and boat-tail base for excellent ballistic coefficient
• Clean sabot separation after muzzle exit

Key Performance Highlights

• Outstanding accuracy — many shooters achieve 1.5–3 inch groups at 50–75 yards from rifled 20-gauge barrels (some report sub-2" groups at 100 yards with good optics)
• Very good expansion and deep penetration on medium to large game
• Much flatter trajectory and far superior retained energy compared to traditional Foster slugs
• Noticeably lower recoil than 12-gauge slugs — ideal for youth shooters, smaller-framed hunters, or anyone who prefers a lighter-handling slug gun

Why the 5-round box? The 5-round packaging is very common for Rottweil Exact Slugs (and many premium European slug loads). It’s perfect for:

• Patterning and sighting in a new slug gun
• Testing different chokes or barrels
• Short hunting trips
• Keeping a few rounds in a truck gun or emergency kit

Rottweil Exact Slug 20ga is frequently considered the gold standard for serious 20-gauge slug hunters — especially those using rifled barrels and scopes. It significantly outperforms traditional Foster slugs in accuracy, trajectory, and terminal performance, making it ideal for ethical shots out to 100 yards (rifled) or 50–75 yards (smoothbore).

Premium German engineering and exceptional consistency — widely regarded as one of the finest 20-gauge slugs ever made.
