rifle bullet
Assuming you mean the slug as a form of shotgun load, then, it depends. The slug is significantly heavier than a typical .30 caliber (7.62mm) rifle round, and the sabot nature of the slug load for a shotgun produces a reasonable amount of muzzle velocity (though, less than a quarter that of a typical rifle).
Due to the nature of shotguns, and the lower initial velocity, the slug has significantly shorter range (100m, maybe) than a typical rile (which can be used up to 1000m). Inside that range, however, the slug has enormous energy.
The effectiveness of the slug vs the rifle bullet really depends on the type of target being shot at. The small cross-section and very high velocity of the rifle bullet make it good for punching through thin but strong materials (kevlar, lexan, steel), but poor for thicker materials (including tissue, where rifle bullets tend to make a small hole straight through, but cause little extra damage). A slug's big diameter, much slower speed and high mass make it excellent for penetrating layered materials (e.g. a car doors, masonry, etc.), plus, it causes massive tissue damage.
What else can I help you with?
To check for bullet diameter. how do you slug a bore?
have a gunsmith do this, push a slug of close dia through the rifle, and micrometer the bullet. this will give the true bore size.
Could you show me a rifle slug and a regular slug?

Why are rifles better for hunting deer than shotguns?
Mainly it's the ballistic trajectory. With a shotgun, if you want to kill a deer, you will need either a slug, or buckshot. The slug (or combined weight of the buckshot) is heavier than a bullet from a rifle, and they move slightly slower, making their range more limited. Especially with buckshot. Also, there is no rifling on the barrel, so the projectile(s) from a shotgun are less stable. A rifle bullet goes faster and longer before becoming inaccurate.
What is the abbreviation for slug or bullet?
No standard abbreviation
What is the difference between a rifle and shotgun?
A rifle fires a single bullet or round such as a 7.62 or 5.56 millimeter. A shotgun fires a slug such as 12 gram that consists of multiple projectiles. Also a rifles barrel has rifling (or groves) to put spin on the bullet when it is fired.
What are five examples of a projectile?
-- cannonball -- rifle slug -- javelin -- baseball -- Volkswagen leaving a trebuchet
What is the difference between a rifle and a shotgun in terms of their design and functionality?
A rifle is a long-barreled firearm with rifling inside the barrel to improve accuracy and range. It typically fires a single projectile (bullet) at a time. A shotgun has a shorter barrel and fires multiple pellets or a single slug, making it more effective at close range for hunting or self-defense.
Can a slug bullet kill you?
Yes, any bullet can kill you. The amount of damage a bullet does depends on several factors, basically: where it hits you, how hard it hits you, and how big the bullet is (or how much it expands).
What is the design and function of a helical fin shotgun slug sabot?
A helical fin shotgun slug sabot is designed to stabilize and improve the accuracy of a shotgun slug by spinning it as it travels through the air. The helical fins create a rifling effect, similar to a bullet in a rifled barrel, which helps the slug maintain a straighter trajectory and hit the target more accurately.
