RE: Hornady 12ga. SST good for deer?
I just sighted in with these slugs and they group fantastic. I will be using them for hunting for the first time this Monday morning, so if I get to shoot a deer, I will give my report. As far as knocking a deer off it's feet, I have never seen anything do that in my 38 years of hunting, but I have dropped several deer in their tracks, DOI ( Dead on Impact), with several different kinds of shotgun slugs, both foster and sabot. As someone stated earlier, it's shot placement that counts. Like I said, I have never shot a deer with these slugs, so I do not know what kind of blood trail they will make, which is also important if you have a very far tracking job, but good shot placement should take this out of theequation. Just my opinion.
