Hey Centaur,
I was trying not to be specific in my question so as not to influence the answer. However, as you can see...despite the fact that I gave a pretty specific description of the exact projectile and firearm type I was interested in opinions on, (20 sabot slug)...some folks still have to fly off into the "it all depends on this and that"....(We know that, which is exacly why I gave a general "this and that" to base your answer on.)
Either way, this thread is pretty much confirming that most people never even think about the answer before pulling the trigger. (Not that I am saying they have to, as long as they some other thoughts on the issues involved.)
Good to hear from you Centaur!
