LOL! I would stop listening to the "advice" that this someone gave you.
I can tell you that BuckHammers have a bit more kick than other comparative slugs but that they are indeed hammers on deer.
Here is what Remington says about them.........
When it comes to delivering devastating knockdown power and superior accuracy, no other lead slug offers a more lethal combination than the Remington BuckHammer. Specifically designed for rifled barrels and rifled choke tubes, these high-performance slugs are capable of producing 3-inch or better groups at 100-yards with nearly 100% weight retention and controlled expansion to nearly one-inch in diameter.

Yeah, they are made for rifled barrels, and I think they can be shot from smooth bore cylinder choked barrels as well.
And yes, to me they do kick more than a typical slug. Not a fun range session if you shoot a bunch of them. I don't really feel recoil when I shoot at a deer though.

I work with a guy that used the Buckhammers in his rifled 870 the last few years. He said they work great on deer. He switched to the new Remington Accutip slugs because the shoot flatter. He did say the buckhammers recoil really bad though.
