Except for arrows I simply don't worry about pass throughs...
A lung shot deer is going to die quickly and usually drop within 75 yards...
There will be blood after a few yards as they will bleed out of the nose and mouth...
Even with pass throughs sometimes the exit wound gets plugged with other matter...
Typically bullets that stay in a deer create a wider wound channel and drop the animal
faster...
If you want to drop them on the spot, go to a high shoulder or neck shot...

I did miss speak....
no sir you did not miss speak. and the way the srtical is written i can see how you came to what you said. but i am limmited to slugguns for deer and thats what i grew up using so i know a little about slugs and there is not a slug made that only has 1 inch of drop at 200. i just didnt want people to think and start telling others that slugs dont have any drop is all. the slug you mentioned is a fantastic slug

Myself and my friend both have the 220f both set up the same, same scope, same mounts, same ammo, remington accu-tip 3", both of us shooting the same groups. The first week of December 2012 my friend shot a 375 # dress weight bear at 60 yds., the bear went 15 yds.

The mast crop has been good, and we had a mild winter last season. It has been my observation (after taking 7 deer this season) that they seem to be "fat and healthy". Maybe this has effected the penetration.
As for blood trails, I have had very little. One dropped almost right away, but the other two did the "death run". I found little blood for the first 50-75 yards before finding the deer over 100 yards away.
My bullets were mushroomed, no as symmetrically as the picture posted, but expanded and retained mass.
I would hate to learn my lesson the hard way. I'm new to slug guns so I don't have the experience that many of you have.
