Slug is one projectile where buckshot is many depending on size of the shot. The smaller the projectile, the more the shell can hold, the bigger then obviously the less the shell can hold.

If you're talking about a slug gun and a buck shotgun. The main difference there is the barrel. Slug guns generally have rifled barrels with rifle sights. Shotguns for buckshot generally are smooth bore barrels with bead front sights.

Also, shot shells are usually in 2 3/4" and 3" sizes for 12ga. shotguns.

Wasn't sure which you wanted. Your title says slug and buck shotguns. Your post just says slug and buckshot?
