Pumpkin balls/in a shotgun.
Remember them? I think they were just a slug but were called pumpkin balls by us hill folks!
Anyhow,the hunters i grew up with,most of them could not afford 2 guns. I mean a shotgun and a rifle,so they used 12 gauge slugs.
I recall seeing the men taking a knife and carving x's across the face of the slug? Would this really do anything to the slug upon hitting a deer? I mean act like a hollow point slug?
If so,what would doing it to a Real bullet or a Maxi do upon hitting an animal? Any thoughts on this?
