Remington AccuTip Bonded Sabot Slug
Remington have announced a very cool looking new sabot slug called the “AccuTip Bonded Sabot Slug”
Looks cool doesn’t it?
It doesn’t just look intimidating, it’s flattening whitetails and competitors in the tipped-slug market with devastating ferocity. Guided by our new Power Port™ Tip, the AccuTip Bonded Sabot Slug delivers a degree of accuracy and terminal performance unmatched by any other we tested. This masterpiece of aerodynamics consistently prints tiny 100-yard groups and transfers tremendous knockdown force out to the farthest reaches of shotgun range. It’s the largest tipped slug you’ll find anywhere.
In field testing, this huge .58-caliber slug produced gaping wound channels and crumpled every deer it touched with a single shot. From 5 to 200 yards, it yields perfect mushrooms and over 95% weight retention thanks to its spiral nose cuts, bonded construction and high-strength cartridge brass jacket. With performance as revolutionary as its appearance, this is one tip sure to get stunning results. Available in 2 3/4″ or 3″ 12-gauge versions for 2008.
- Power Portâ„¢ Tip delivers dramatically superior accuracy

Hi, welcome to my blog! This blog is dedicated to all things firearms related. I hope you enjoy it.
Looks awsome. I am useing the corlok ultra know and will try the accutip when they get available. The only problem is the price.
Hi Gravy, let us know what you think of it once you try it.
I also use the core-lokt ultra and they are supremely accurate but, in my experience, suffer the same problem as every other 12ga slug I’ve shot at deer— complete and total penetration with practically no apparent expansion and an exiting slug with the VAST majority of its kinetic energy.
Typically, this isn’t a problem with a shotgun on whitetail deer since the gun is really quite horrendously overpowered for such a relatively small animal. I’m hoping that the accu-tip really does gives the type of expansion shown on the website, that amount of kinetic energy transfered to a whitetail would be “insta-kill” on virtually any size deer.
