Sure, it has enough. But not with risky shots like in the chest or thru the shoulder or up the rump.

I myself would not have shot at the chest. Waited until broadsided.If it never got broadsided,I would have let it go. There's always more deer.There's not too much to the boiler room shot. The lungs are very easy to penetrate, and if you hit the heart, its just a bonus, you don't need a pass thru at that point. It doens't take much to penetrate the broadsided shot if put correctly.

Just shot one at 9o yards quartering away. Using 2 3/4 inch lightfields. Did a good job on the lungs etc.. Deer did go about 90 yards after shot, but left a good blood trail. But I agree with bigcountry wait on a good kill shot.

I shoot these out of my 1300, and at 75 yards can keep the slugs inside of 2". BUT!! At 100 yards they are all over the target????? That's why I try to keep my shoots under 75 yards!!
