RE: Slug guns...Hear the bullet hit?
With slugs, I've never heard it hit the target. One day of sighting one in I could hear the slug traveling through the 30" barrel though. Kind of a zippy, hollow sound. it was neat. Never heard it since.
But when I was sighting in my 30-30 on a humid day a few weeks ago I could hear the bullet hit my paper plate target. I never knew that thing shot so slow. Boom!...thawack.
