Luv hunt, I used the Remington Buckhammers exclusively for many years in both 12 and 20 gauge - always 2 3/4” and found them very accurate (for slugs) 2 1/2”-3” MOA out to 100 yrds - despite their “beer can shape”. The 12 ga threw an 1 1/4 oz of lead @ 1500 fps so penetration was always excellent and usually left two-Big-holes for an easy blood trail to follow. Although discontinued - I stocked up and still have 20 boxes n each gauge.....I liked them that much ! You can still sometimes find them for sale on line on GBFederals 1 1/4 3” will kill most animals on N. American continent. Remington did market a 3” 1 3/8 load with an advertised vel. of 1600 fps. They were called Buckhammers.
