A shotgun slug typically has more physical mass than a rifle bullet. For example, the lightest common .30-06 Springfield rifle bullet weighs 150 grains (0.34 oz (9.6 g)), while the lightest common 12 gauge shotgun slug weighs 7 ⁄ 8 oz (383 gr (24.8 g)).
Glaser Safety Slug is a frangible bullet made by Cor-Bon/Glaser, a subsidiary of Dakota Ammo, an American ammunition company formerly based in Sturgis, South Dakota. The Glaser Safety Slug was developed by Jack Canon in 1975, the same year the company was founded by Armin Glaser.
A slug is a term used for a bulky solid ballistic projectile. It is "solid" in the sense of being composed of one piece; the shape can vary widely, including partially hollowed shapes.

For example, the .308 Winchester uses a bullet of 308/1000-inch diameter and was standardized by Winchester. Conversely, cartridge names often reflect nothing related to the cartridge in any obvious way. For example, the .218 Bee uses a bullet of 224/1000-inch diameter, fired through a .22-in bore, etc.
An example is the Glaser Safety Slug, usually a pistol caliber bullet made from an amalgam of lead shot and a hard (and thus frangible) plastic binder designed to penetrate a human target and release its component shot pellets without exiting the target.
A sabot (UK: / s æ ˈ b oʊ, ˈ s æ b oʊ /, US: / ˈ s eɪ b oʊ /) is a supportive device used in firearm/artillery ammunitions to fit/patch around a projectile, such as a bullet/slug or a flechette-like projectile (such as a kinetic energy penetrator), and keep it aligned in the center of the barrel when fired.
For example, a cartridge containing a 3 or 3 + 1 ⁄ 2-dram load of black powder was a common hunting field load, and a heavy full-power load would have contained about a 4 to 4 + 1 ⁄ 2-dram load, whereas a cartridge containing only a 2-dram load of black powder was a common target practice load. A hunter looking for a field or full-power ...
A guide to the recoil from the cartridge, and an indicator of bullet penetration potential. The .30-06 Springfield (at 2.064 lbf-s) is considered the upper limit for tolerable recoil for inexperienced rifle shooters.
