RE: SLUG HUNTERS: Try everything new or stick with tried & true?
In the early 1900s, a guy named Roosevelt Luckey, killed the longest reigning world record whitetail in NY w/ a 12ga "pumpkin ball" slug from an old SxS.
Ive killed deer w/ bow, sluggun , centerfire and muzzleloader and Ive never taken a shot farther than 45yds. Cheap old rem. sluggers and brenekes will clover leaf at 50yds from a smoothie and 440 grains of lead hits plenty hard, so I dont see much point in spending 15$ for a box of 5 sabot slugs when a 3$ box will do.
Your needs may be more demanding than mine though , I only hunt thick brush.
