Slug gun shooting has drove me crazy for at least 20 years since I moved to a no rifle for deer hunting county . I'm going to go on a little rant so be prepared ! I can use a scope mounted cross bow , scoop mounted rifled smokeless inline rifle , and a fully rifled bolt action slug rifle with a scope , but I can't use my 30-30 or a 3006 . I have spent many thousands of dollars and wasted to much time playing with slugs and buckshot over the years to come to the conclusion that if you don't practice with and know what you're firearm is capable of you are the danger not the firearm . I have seen a lot of game with wounds infected dying a miserable death , be realistic with your expectations .
