That's fair.
I was just saying.... Everything has it's limitations. Guys kill deer all the time with a pointy stick.
No deer or hog in it's right mind wants to take multiple .330 balls at 1200 fps, or whatever they come out at, to the vitals.
Just pointing out that it is effective when used
properly. If guys were slinging arrows at running deer 75 yards away (like many do with 00 buckshot) you'd see allot of misses and injuries too.
But used properly it's a good option still...
but I see your point about not suggesting that.
And to the OP.... Big NO on the #4s. And I agree... A slug is your better option.
