slugs, what do you prefer?
i shoot federal truballs out of my 20 gauge remington 870 and they shoot amazing. i have another question is why does everyone think that you have to use a 12 gauge? i shot a doe with a 50 cal muzzleloader and it did the job, now is it just me or is a 50 cal bullet the same size if not smaller than a 20 gauge slug? just wondering what you guys thought.

I only use a muzzleloader for gun season. CVA apollo 50 cal. and yes the 50 cal. bullets are roughly the same size as a 20 guage, but I shoot a 44 pistol bullet with a plastic sabot. More range and less wear on the barrel.

i know what you are talking about the rush. i shot a doe on a morning when there was absolutley no air moving and it took a good 30 seconds for the smoke to clear on a doe that i was sure that i missed. when it cleared she was flailing around on the ground and i went insane.(it was my first deer ever) i usually save the ML for places where i need a little more distance on my shots.

Tried the Lightfield 3 1/2" slugs. WOW....they flew great out of a Mossberg 835. I can't imagine how it hits a deer. It might roll it 3 or 4 times over before it comes to a rest plastered against a tree and I am sure I will need a putty knife to scrape it off...
