Cant find them anywhere isn't Remington making these anymore

They probably make them but I am sure that you know that an ammo shortage has been going on since sandy hook.

Cabela's says they are backorderable. Just curious as to why you need 3". The 2&3/4s are the same weight slug.

I know this don't make sense to me either but the guy at savage said 3'' is a little more accurate and they eject better thats the big thing. and there a little faster fps

in stock at a small shop here. one theory is that they work better cause there is less jump.

The 2 3/4" accu tips were more accurate in my 220.
Less recoil and plenty of power for deer. Try both and see which ones that your gun likes, then buy a case.

As this is the thick of deer season across the country (or just past, as it is here in MN), it shouldn't be too surprising that they're sold out.

Both the 3" and 2 3/4" accutips were in stock at the local Cabelas 4-6 weeks ago. They had at least a hundred boxes or so of each. They'll be on shelves again before too long.

They do make them, However they didn't make them last year. last year they pulled the 3" since they are so close, but people pitched a fit over the 3" being 50fps faster with the same bullet. There is a bunch at the LGS.

LGS ????? WHAT STORE DOES THAT STAND FOR????

The "Local Gun Store" near him. Back, before the crazy times, those shells were sold out way before deer season. Least here in De.

In my savage 220 20 gauge slug gun the 2 3/4 shells were actually more accurate than the 3 inch version. Both were quite good for slugs 2 inches and 1.5 respectively at 100 yds but the shorter were consistently better for me.
