Shotgun slug technology has certainly advanced over time, and Winchester Ammunition is at the forefront of product innovation.
The Deer Season slug benefits from those technological advancements and is an ideal option for deer hunters throughout North America.
New for 2018, the Winchester Deer Season Slug looks similar to a traditional Foster-style slug, but is unique in that it is paired with a rear stabilizer that is inserted into the heel of the projectile. The slug and stabilizer travel as one downrange, resulting in accuracy that deer hunters need in the field.
Matt Campbell, vice president of marketing and sales for Winchester Ammunition, said: «The new Deer Season slug will be a great addition to our slug-hunting cartridge options, particularly for those looking for excellent performance at an exceptional value.»
