Ya'll want recoil? I'll give you recoil. Try this rocket scientist move, load you good old TC with 150gr of powder and a 300gr bullet, then brilliantly lean you back against a big old oak for support and pull the trigger. I guarantee it will be 10 to 15 min before you even care if you hit that buck.

I'm no dummy. When I first got my T/C Black Diamond, my brother and I were sighting it in. I was sighting it in using 100 gr. of Pyrodex pellets and told my brother that it was quite enough. Well, he wanted to try 3 pellets. He has always been an adventure seeker. Well, 3 pellets beneath a 240 gr. bullet left one heck of a scope ring mark on his forehead and a pretty good headache. If I ever have to use 3 pellets in the muzzleloader to kill a deer, that deer can keep on going as far as I am concerned.

Don't tell Fabs but I hate getting my teeth kick out with a slug gun. That why I shoot a auto, it helps a little. Really been thinking about a 20 ga as a slug gun but a little concerned aout the range differental between a 12 & 20.

My shots are always under 125 yards so maybe a 20 might be the answer for me. Decisions decisions decisions.

Recoil???

hehehehe TJ that was funny...I Surely Haven't ever done anything like that. ,,,er...ahh..have I? I'll bet that did hurt. Actually guys I have never been brained by a scope on a slug gun. And I have sighted a lot of them in.. BUT a 338 Mag got me just a little bit one time... barely cut the skin.. Learned my lesson though. Them heavy hitters hit Hard...on both ends.

Fabs, You are a trip.. I like your stories.....BTW everybody...Fabs IS a really nice guy....especially considering he is a lawyer and all. He does pretty well in restaurants too. Ask if ya want the story...hehehe. I can PM ya the REAL details Nah..better not. Defamation of a character fer sure

Pain

Actually TJ ...I was just a thinking back anbd I do remember one time...First 3" shotgun I ever had...A Mossberg 500. Shot at a goose directly overhead while laying on my back... Killed the goose but at the time I really didn't care. Thought I broke my shoulder. Never had a problem with the other guns I had to that time. Got rid of that kicking *&^$%^%&&^*)(&() thing
