Indyhunter, I say that after having observed a great many deer over the past 40 years which were shot with both slugs and buckshot. I once saw a medium-sized doe at Crane Naval Ammunition Depot in IN.,(as a matter of fact), which ran by a line of hunters who all fired at her with 12-ga. slugs. She didn't break stride, ran over a hill, and continued another 200 yards before she fell. It was found that she had been hit with five 1-oz. 12 ga. slugs!! No blood trail!! Once (in VA saw a small spike buck travel over 1.5 miles with 3 00-buckshot through its' heart. If not for the fact that hounds were being used, this deer would have never been found!! People think that Foster-type slugs "possess a lot of shocking power", when in fact they kill by hemmorage, just like a broadhead arrow. Their velocity is too low for shock! NONE OF THESE COMMENTS PERTAINS TO THE NEW SABOT-TYPE SLUGS LIKE THE WIN. PARTITON GOLD, WHICH ARE THE EQUIVALENT OF A .45/70!!

Keep yore powder dry!!
