Hi guys... usually watch the crossbow section but I have a question.... I keep hearing companies talk about 200 yard performance out of their slug guns. When Remington first came out with copper solids ('92?) , I went out and bought an 11-87 rifled slug barrel. It was deadly accurate... opening morning I had a nice 8 point and doe standing out in the middle of a field, feeling real safe. The where out there for 1/2 hour and would not budge... I guessed the range at 150 yards (I shot a lot of wood chucks and knew my yardages pretty close - stepped it off at 151 long steps afterwards) I took a deep breathe and let one fly. (aimed 12" above deers back) Buck humped his back and took off... I didn't think I hit it. It ran into the woods and I followed about 5 mins later... there is was standing there with it's mouth wide open trying to catch his breath. I sat down and waited him out... after 20 minsI gave him a finishing shotas he was about to jumpinto a deep, cold creek. Upon gutting him, I found the copper solid hit him in the arm pit just behind the heart. (I consider myself a very good shot, but I must admit it wasa prettylucky shot) The pedals did not open up or break off... the slug looked brand new like it was pulled out of the shell. It went into the first lung and did notget into the2nd lung.If I wouldn't have given him that 2nd shot, who knows how long he would have lived like that? How can these slug companies tell us with confidence theserifled barrelguns and slugs are 200 yard performers? Interested in hearing your thoughts. Jeff in Ohio
