buckhammer

Anyone ever use the Remmington buckhammer slugs for bear?....It makes an impressive hole in a target and the accuracy is unreal at 50 yds from my 835....does it have any power to get into the heart of things?..

If you are hunting from a tree stand or ground blind and if your shots are in the 50-75 yd range which is about max, you should be fine. I have shot a ton of deer with slugs and all that have been shot in the lungs/heart area have exited so I have no doubt that a buckhammer should do the same.

BH I havn't got to use them on deer yet but will this year for sure..I just know I can touch the same holes at 50yds with them so maybe even be fun for whistle pigs...know the smokepole is a blast with them...and the first time I took it I got laughed at..till the first shot at 60yds...changed their minds for sure..
val, I don't know about you...first of all your saying of chanel/gunpowder makes an impression on me that should have been on the tv the other day for favorite movie lines...and I think a bear hunt is mild when you see those gators you mess with..how in the world did you get into that?...those are some big critters for a little thing like you to be messing with....I think doing a bear would compare to what you do only if I put down the gun and jumped out of the stand with a knife in mouth onto one and rode it out..(I would win for sure if I attached my old dispatchers name on him) so I have been told....what a woman, and keep up the good work on your other project....maybe we should open a new season 24/7 for those critters..and the peta ones that would stick up for them.....some sick people out there....
