Re: Pros & cons comparing rifles w/ shotguns using slugs?

A 3" 1-3/8 oz hardened lead slug, moving at 1500fps is going to plow straight thru almost anything it hits and leave a big hole behind.
Interesting that you mention Brenneke slugs as the latest issue of GunTests (08/2017) confirms the Brenneke as their pick for dangerous game. Hope I never have to use one. 602 gr. Must kick like the dickens.
