Hello all, just wondering if anyone knows where to get some Remington 20 gauge accutip slugs? I seem to be having a hard time finding them. Sail in Cambridge used to have them but not anymore.
Thanks

Have you called shooters choice? Prophet River and Fishing World show the 20ga in stock if your willing to pay the shipping. I use these as well and it looks like the 20ga are in low supply. I wonder if they are going to replace them with the premier barnes expander slugs that came out a year or so ago. I see places carrying them now.
Thanks, I’ll give them a call. 2 3/4” or 3” for deer in a 20 gauge , what would you choose? I’m thinking 3”
I just use the 2 3/4". Added price and recoil to go with 3" for only a 50fps increase in velocity. Got a buck last year, first year switching from 12ga to 20ga. 110yd shot, he ran about 50yds and dropped over dead just as he got back to the bush. Recoil doesn't bother me but it was a pleasant surprise sighting in the 20ga. Took $200 worth of slugs before finding out the accutips were the most accurate. Nothing else was even close. If I had taken that many shots with the 12ga it would have left a nice bruise on my shoulder.
You have to figure out what shoots in your gunQuote:

My 220 shoots 3" better than 2/34, My buddies is the opposite.

If the Accutips don't work out for you try Hornady SST. My Mossberg 535 with 24" rifled barrel loves them
What do you want to use them with.?Quote:

My 220 prefers 3"-but does a reasonable accuracy with 2 3/4 too.
I had a Winchester 20 gage rifled pump shotgun -which LOVED 2 3/4 Win Partition Gold(i LOVE that ammo -best out there IMHO)alas it would shoot for nothing from my 220 Savage..............so i am using 3" Accutip ,with good performance on deer.
Where to buy?....guys mentioned above few places.Buy 10-20 boxes at once if You can afford ,and know what you want.Once, there was the same crazy scare-NO ammo(like 5 years ago or so)so i bought whatever 3" i could put my hands on............still "covered "for few years to come.
I use them in a 20 gauge Remington 870 (rifled barrel). I buy the 2 3/4 inch.....I once had a 3 inch jam. There is very little difference in velocity. 4 guys in my deer gang use them and we have shot over a dozen deer with them....none needed a second shot....they work.
Sounds good, I’ll try both and see what happens, mossberg 500 is the delivery agent
I could not find any 3 inch 20 gauge accutips last year. I called remington and they said they were not importing any others at the time because the demand in the US was high. I found 5 boxes at a local store and bought all of them.
I did the same thing last fall as well, both my mother and my sister use the same ammo in 20 ga and I finally found a place that had it. Purchased all they had. Nothing like starting deer season with 4 shells lol .. . that's when you really see some action and miss a lot lolQuote:

Well, my Mossberg 500 20 gauge doesn’t seem to like accutips very much so I think I’ll try some Hornady SST’s.
you wont find accutips idk why ive been looking EVERYWHERE. cant find them, also cant find horadys anymore right now too. only thing i can find is remington "expanders" these are basically the only sabot slugs i could find right now
Cabelas told me accu tips are discontinued now that Remington went under.
Not sure I 100% believe that....

I called Gagnons Sports and they told me the same thing.Quote:

Well went to my LGS. Missed them by an hour. He said someone cleaned out all the 20ga he had, nearly 30 boxes. Still has 12ga left
Try Easthill. Had some few weeks ago. They shipQuote:

I managed to find some REM Premier Expander in 20 g. I’ll see how my 870 likes them.
Winchester 3" Dual Bond and Federal 7/8 oz 2 3/4 lead Sabot slugs could be used is Savage 220 , for the ones not having Accutips.
I think both are quite good for 50 y,and you can get by up to 100 y.
Tried only 1 box each few years back(thus not having big numbers to support my claim)but i would not hestitate to shoot any of the 2.
Especially Federal is SWEET-cost less then 10$ a box.............
Bumping this one to the top. Easthill has quite a few of the Remington accutips, both 3 and 2.75 inch but they are going quick. May be the last shot at them in Ontario for a while.
If I fill my buck tag before the controlled week I will post my 20g accutips for sale (and maybe even my savage 220 slugger on here)
Im just enjoying being out with the bow so much these days.
Ive got the following 20g ammo avail now - just pm me if interested
Federal Trophy Copper - 20Ga 2 3/4 inch 275 grains - 1700 fps - 3 boxes
Winchester Dual Bond - 20Ga 3 inch - 260 grains - 1850 fps - 2 boxes
Remington copper solids - 20Ga 2 2/4 inch - 1500 FPS - 1 box
Remington Premier Core Lokt Ultra - Bonded Sabot Slug - 20 Ga 2 3/4 inch - 1900 FPS - 2 Boxes
I always would buy a few extra packages of ammo that my gun likes to shoot, perhaps this is a good reminder to do so as well, its nice to have on hand, and prices are just going up and up anyways these days...
Canadian Tire in Barrie had a bunch, and they would only sell a few boxes...
Just bought a bunch there off Mapleview, He says he's got more in the back. All 3" 20 gaugeQuote:

I know where I will be shopping for now on, Gun counter guy was great let me handle every gun I wanted.
