"Domdom" is a general term for shotgun cartridges loaded with a single-piece slug or a small number of large-diameter pellets (buckshot) rather than fine shot. Because they carry one heavy projectile — or a few large ones — instead of a shot charge, they are favoured for long-range shots and larger game. This page summarises single-projectile cartridges and Ozkursan's 12 gauge catalog range.
Projectile type and barrel compatibility
Projectile material for slug cartridges varies across the industry, with different manufacturers using lead alloy or steel construction. Projectile weight, shape (cylindrical or conical) and wad type directly affect range and accuracy. Slug cartridges should generally be used in cylinder-bore or slug-rated barrels rather than choked barrels — always check the firearm's manual before use.
