I wonder how in the world 63 grains would push a 320 gr slug to lethal velocity? this guy is a bit fishy...check his other posts. I use 100 grains of triple seven and a 295 gr bullet. never would I use less.
There are people shooting much heavier slugs with little more powder then that taking game much further down range then 70 yards. For instance the 460 grain No Excuses are shot with 70-80 grains of Triple Se7en and they are taking large game animals at distances of over 100 yards. I personally think with the right shot placement that 63 grains of T-7 and a 320 grain REAL would do the trick.. Whitetail are considered thin skinned and not all that hard to penetrate. A half an inch hole through the vital organs will bring down most anything.
I commonly shoot 80 grains of Triple Se7en and a 250 grain Barnes Expander to hunt deer with and I will shoot much further then 100 yards with that combination. I also hunt deer with 80 grains of Triple Se7en and a No Excuse conical. I would not even blink if I had a 100 yard shot.
