Mossman, you got that right about using a rifle. Too bad many populated areas restrict the hunting to using slug guns. Even an off the shelf standard rifled barrel slug gun of any make today is heads and shoulders above the old days of smoothbores!! I'm using a Win 1300 scoped -- ya, I don't get no 1" groups with it, but the one good thing about it is if I do my part, I hit what I'm aiming at -- every time, as Rocky always says, Minute of Critter, and it has worked for me. Waidmannsheil, Dom.

Moss,
I am making tattered one-holes at 50-75 yards. My Ballistics are pretty outstanding considering what we have to work with. They take alot of TLC to get them to that point. On paper, I can out-do a .45-70 in so far as the numbers go. I have chrono tests over 2000 fps and I think I can still do better. The problem with most slugs is when they go sub-sonic. Thats when the laws of physics really start to play hell with a slug. In the meantime, I'll keep "slugging" on and see what I can do. The rate of twist? depends on what I am planning to shoot out of it . Its usually 1 in 24, 25 or 25 1/2. Cy
