@WHOTEEWHO A very good visual would have been... Set the gun up on a 200yd target using the 50yd cross hair aim point. Then take a pic thru the scope. Then we can see where the 200yd point shows the impact or actual drop. You can do this with the other aim points as well. Never firing a shot. Just take some pics.
Here in Maine most of us use rifles, but it is always nice to have options. Once in a while I take my 12 gauge when hunting heavy brush or a short range stand. Like your stuff, keep up the good work.
This is a slug gun and may very well be much more precise than a smooth-bore shotgun. It would be wonderful if you could do a test to determine if your measurements of 7 1/2'' and 19 1/2" hold true with a normal slug in a smooth bore. Also, what would be the difference with a 3 1/2' slug shell? Love your videos. They are indeed fun. Thank you from Canada.
I have a Churchill 612 tactical Turkish made pump that holds its own against my 835 slugger out to 70 yards with the same ammo but the men and boy guns part ways at that point. That 612 will chew up and shoot out any old pos round you put through it with prejudice but my 835 is a picky bitch. It loves pellet slugs, but doesn't everyone's shotgun love pellet slugs?
I'm not so sure that a smooth bore would be that much worse honestly. Spin stabilization isn't always the truest way to make something fly think about it.rockets planes darts arrows the all use fin and aerodynamics which throughout history have more studies and experiments than spin with shotguns.all thanks to dumb laws outlawing rifled shotguns and poverty gave citizens only smooth bore single shot or homemade guns/shotguns I would like to use taofledermaus as an example but the few times they used slugs they were foster slugs and normal stuff like that the correct load will go out to 30p yards easy with little drop and be accurate so.e eve. Armor piercing
Given that sabots are not designed to be shot from smooth bore barrels, doing so would likely be a waste of money. There are better products on the market for that use.
I have a 12 Ga H&R single shot from the '30s I cut down and silver soldered a scope base right on the barrel. The old barrels are thick enough to do that. I have a cheap short tube scope I put on. Back then slug hunting was just coming in and not one scope company would guarantee a scope on a shotgun. Still have the cheap scope on well after 100 rounds. With Federal slugs I get one ragged hole at 50 yards. I never tried farther on the range, but have shot deer out to 75 yards and it hit where I aimed. I would not trust a shot out past 100 yards with it. I built rifled shotguns for people and it is true, brand of ammunition matters. No slug ammo is loaded as close as rifle ammo either.
I have a 20 gauge slug gun that I sight in at 100 yards and it only drops about 12 inches at 200 yards, my longest shot up to date on was 280 yards on a whitetail
Southern lower Michigan is shotgun only as well but they just recently allowed use of the 450 bushmaster and 350 legend. Once you get up north here in the stix you can use a rifle.
it was neat to see the targets at 200 yard, the rounds slowed down enough to catch the slug on camera. I've been wanting to start a 12ga 200+ Slug Club at my local range for a while
150 yard zero is probably a round number for those of us using maximum point blank range method for zeroing. My 270wsm zero is about 250 yards as a result. Non magnums are frequently zeroed at around 200 yards.
That’s a cool gun with accuracy! It is cool to actually see the slughit the target on camera!! Great video! Actually great channel! No BS and real time information!
This was a great video and very cool to watch I just pick up my 1925 winchester model 12 in 16 ga I planed on using it for hunting so this video gives me a good idea on drop for slugs
Thx for the test! Here in Michigan we sight in our SST’s from a lead sled 2” high at 50 yds. SST box “says” there should be very little drop from 50-100yds so we just rolled with that and didn’t sight in any farther. When shooting at actual deer 50yds out to 130 yds we aim straight on with the duplex reticle (no BDC) and have killed multiple deer at various yardages from 40y to 130y. I think the box shows 7 inches of drop at 200yds. Your 7 inches drop at 100y is interesting so guess I need get out to the range for some more practice. Thx again!!
I set up an old bolt action 12 guage as a long distance slugger with a welded on scope mount and 30" barrel. I run 3" federal powershock slugs and its a beast. crazy accurate and dumps energy even at 250
Iowa is both slug and straight walled as well. Once I bought and shot my Ruger 450 Bushmaster and saw what it could do I sold all my sabots and my SBE Slug Barrel. So much better accuracy and far less bullet drop. The SST never quite cut it for me when I shot slugs. I’d get a flyer about every 4th shot.
Did you ever get a hit on one that had no expansion? I hit a doe with one at 25 yards pencil holed both sides luckily I got her spin and she dropped right in her tracks I had to finish her off but that was the last time I ever used them in a hunting situation out of my 535 24"fully rifled barrel with rifle sights I changed over to cheap Winchester sabot ammo and my gun loves it anything 10-260ish yards and if it's brown it's down the doe that I had ranged at 256 took a step or two so I split the difference and call it 260 yards normally I won't shoot out that far but it was a rough hunting season that year and was the last day and I ended up getting her so it was meat in the freezer!!! Even though I know some guys I used to hunt with before I moved to Ohio would stretch their slug guns out to 300-350. That's not me. I don't think it's right to the animals that we pursue to shoot at them out that far!! I've killed some paper at 350-400 but no way would I trust a slug that far my .308 hot loads all day but I can only use it for varmint hunting here so I have a bunch of 110 grain vmax and oh boy is that something to see yotes at 600-700 plus yards take a dirt nap and I love it and don't really care if anybody wants to come and say 308 is way too much gun for yotes I tell you this. The pelts ain't worth nothing anymore and it's fun plinking them fawn killers with my 308 happy hunting good luck everyone long response but my real world experience maybe it will help or inspire someone to get out and take out some fawn killers if you guys just kill deer and then sit around for a year waiting for deer season again if everyone does that maybe won't have any deer to hunt in there lifetime 🤷♂️🤷♂️🤷♂️ if you're going to be a deer hunter predator control, it's just as important. Even more important in my opinion. Very few guys that get out and do it anymore
Yrs ago using a 16ga.smooth bore with slugs I missed a huge buck at 30or 40 yds,shooting down into a ravine.Later at a strip pit at the same angle I had to aim at the dirt in front of a refrigerator door to hit the top of the door.Buckshot from then on.Should have listened to my deer hunting aunt who warned about shotgun slugs.Miss Mary of Epes,Ala. a hunting legend.
If you have a loose hold on the shotgun occasionally, you will have fliers due to the heavy recoil. Also, with safari rifles in dangerous game chamberings. Good check on your yardage / zero.
In Minnesota the southern half of the state is slug muzzleloader only!!! Since after the wolf explosion is the best hunting in the state!! I just moved to Ohio this year so I don't have to change over equipment except I'm going to get a straight wall cartridge rifle good luck everyone love what you do who-tee-who!!!
I always loved hunting with slugs even in smooth bore. I bought the cheapest rifled slug shotty a Mavrick 88 and with those same hornadys I would have no issue out to 150 with full confidence I'd hit where I'm pointing . And I love the Boom !!! Lol . Mater of fact tommorow I'm sighting a new BDC scope on it. My lat was just a single cross hair sighted 1.5" high at 50 and at 150 . Was just about 3/4" low . For a slugger I'll take it .
It's always a blast shooting slugs! Looks like Crimson Trace is making some nice scopes! Also, I really like your Weatherby's! They're really nice looking guns!🇺🇲✝️🇺🇲
I live in the central valley of California. We have a couple of areas we deer hunt that are shotgun or bow only. I have a Mossberg that I use for everything now. I just switch barrels for bird or deer hunting.
That's what I thought. I just moved to Ohio at the end of last year deer season and I seen somebody else comment here that they're going to be building an AR and my question is in an AR platform can you use a larger magazine just only put in two plus one? Or how does that work cuz I could see a lot of ways people could cheat that? TIA
Another good vid and thanks for posting! As an Ohio hunter I reckon that shoulder of yours is carrying a reminder of your range day...those sluggers buck a bit. booya!
Great video! I just wish I could use slugs for deer and hog hunting on all public hunting land here in South Carolina. It gets so damn confusing I just stick with 00 buck out of my Mossberg 500A, with a "short" barrel equipped with rifle sights and save the slugs for home defense. And yes, to those who question my reference to "slugs are not allowed", read your state hunting regulations CAREFULLY before hunting in any particular zone!! Like I did, and will continue to do, and you might get a shock as many of those same public lands do not allow the use of rifles or handguns for hunting purposes. It's enough to drive an Old Gubber to drink. Come to think of it. I think I need one now that the subject has come up.
I like that scopes reticle. I love BDC for easy acquisition. A 4-16x50 would be nice for Idaho short range season .... where we need to shoot long range. Good vid!
More great information from WTW, I just ordered me a rifled choke for my turkey gun, want to see how much it helps my smooth bore shotgun on slugs past 50 yards. Mine puts good groups to 50 with the smooth bore but after 50 mine hits different every shot. Hopefully the choke will help pattern them better. Thanks again and Good shooting to you and your fans. 🎥👍💯🦌🦃🥊💪🏽🙏🏻
What slugs go 1900fps? Only one i can think of is the Hornady sabots. The vast majority of slugs are around 1500-1600fps. At least most of the slugs i see around.
Great video. I live in Western New York, near Buffalo. A lot of areas I hunt are “shotgun only”. I will be putting this scope on my 2003 Beretta ES 100 Pintail, 12-Gauge shotgun with a 24” fully rifled barrel. I’ve already contacted Crimson Trace and am waiting for their suggestion on what bases to use for best performance.
I think you will find if you sight the hornady in at 150 yards as recommended on the box you will achieve a flatter trajectory between 100 and 200. Its like .223 remmington is best sighted at 200 yards so it shoots 1 inch high at 100 yards
Brother that is a bad a** 12 gauge, awesome setup.💪👍hottadamn!!.. them Hornady sst's are the only rounds my rifled Hastings barrel ingests, Drops them Kentucky bruiser bucks right in there tracks,
Good shooting WTW how about some inbtween on some of those yardages like to see how the scope tracts on them the 50 and 100 tracked very well growing up that about all we had a shotgun for everything I may have to try one on mine mine has a good trigger in it trying to group with a regular shot gun trigger pull is hard the one I have now has a good trigger pull but not hunted with it or shot much I think I shot it twice just to see if it worked cleaned and put back up but need to scope it and shoot some I like these slug videos
Can you do a video doing the same thing but holding at the distance that you say so we can see it hit the whole from the first shot knowing the info from that shot, atleast to see how close it comes to it.
It is interesting to see long range shotgun shooting. I carry a 12 around our remote cabin and fishing and probably would not pull the trigger on a bear or pissed off moose unless it is less than 50 feet away hoping it’s a false charge.
Thanks wtw for viedo love to see more slug viedos especially ones with smooth bore ,don't want to spend money for a rifled barrel. Love see one those scopes on a smooth bore to see the results of it. Love see using foster slugs , thanks from Iowa, love you're hat.
using the ballistic calculator. a 20yd zero is the best. at the rounds apex 60 yrds its goes 1.5 inches high with a high bc 3" magnum load. with a 2 3/4 basic slug its 1 inch high at 60 yrds. both rounds are dead on the bullseye at 100 yards. its a simple point shoot 100 yrd gun. after that it drops really quick.
7 1/2" drop for 50 additional yards seem a bit much. I use that ammo with a Mossberg 535 pump. It's been a few years since I did that test but I thought mine went down 3 1/2"
For an accurate siting in, you should have used a Lead Sled shooting adjustable rest. This way it is is set up without the possibility of movement. The block you rested that gorgeous Weatherby on, wasn’t stable enough the way it looked.
So the holdover points on a BDC reticle are right where you hold on your target, below the crosshairs, regardless of magnification, & your round should impact right where you aimed?
I dropped a buck last year at 165 yds with my 12g shotgun with a nikon bdc using Remington accutips. My son dropped a buck this year same setup at 100yds. My furthest to date is 175yds but I didn't find that buck.
Nice video that scope looks sweet. But seriously why did they pick a 250 gr slug for their measurements? I don't think I've ever seen that size in a store lol.
What kind of scope rings are those Mr. WTW? My apologies if you said it and I missed it. They look like a sturdy set of rings on the slugger. Thanks again for doing these tests and sharing them with us. Much appreciated. Thanks from ur neighbor in Kentucky.
You can use a rifle in Ohio but it has to be straight wall cartridges. I'm actually building an ar 15 chambered in 350 legend (waiting on parts) for my daughter to deer hunt with. And I have the exact scope but for 350 legend. I'm excited to see how accurate it is.
Where are you getting a three round mag for the AR at? I just moved to Ohio and the regs all day three round max two+1 just curious how I can get one of those mags
@@jacobalexander8166 you can use any mag as long as you only have 3 rounds in it. I usually have a 2 10 round mags with 3 loaded in them with me when I hunt.
Nice I like those weatherby. Shotguns. And I have quite a few shotguns of different makes. Thought about getting a rifled barrel for mine. I'd say 50 to 80 yards is a fair shot. With a slug. But I guess you could shoot further. I'd prefer a rifle. If shooting further. Out myself. , but for short distances. A slug will surely get the job done. Plenty of energy and is a bone breaker at short yardage 50 to 75 yards.
Check out the Slugger Scope HERE: linktr.ee/whoteewho
Call me crazy but i think they should all be 3" mags in slugs loaded probably 50-100fps faster
@WHOTEEWHO

That’s an awesome optic for the shotgun.
Absolutely
That’s a cool gun with accuracy! It is cool to actually see the slughit the target on camera!! Great video! Actually great channel! No BS and real time information!
In Michigan, you can use a rifle in the UP and northern part of the mitten, but it's shotgun only in the south.
Not anymore, and you can use whatever you like for coyotes, at night, in full camo. Senseless licensing taxes and regulations. Smh.
I am impressed. Thats crazy accurate for 12 Ga slugs. I never expected much with slugs past 75 yards. Wow. Nice shootin bro.
Its a rifled barrel shooting sabots.
Our area is shotgun only.
If you got sighted in, they’re pretty accurate.
I’ve done from 40 yards, to 50, 75 and 134 yards on white tails
This was a great video and very cool to watch I just pick up my 1925 winchester model 12 in 16 ga I planed on using it for hunting so this video gives me a good idea on drop for slugs

Very impressed great video. I often make the mistake of adjusting the scope as if I’m shooting 100 yds when it’s 50.
Good, hard data obtained in the field is always best. Another really fun video 👍
Cool, nice to always have a shotgun sighted in with slugs for those hunting opportunities that require it.
Yrs ago using a 16ga.smooth bore with slugs I missed a huge buck at 30or 40 yds,shooting down into a ravine.Later at a strip pit at the same angle I had to aim at the dirt in front of a refrigerator door to hit the top of the door.Buckshot from then on.Should have listened to my deer hunting aunt who warned about shotgun slugs.Miss Mary of Epes,Ala. a hunting legend.
Amazing video!!! Give everyone some serious perspective. Really appreciate you spending the mullah to send those slugs 🙏👍
Nice shooting sir but I'm glad that's your shoulder during sightin time
If you have a loose hold on the shotgun occasionally, you will have fliers due to the heavy recoil. Also, with safari rifles in dangerous game chamberings. Good check on your yardage / zero.
In Minnesota the southern half of the state is slug muzzleloader only!!! Since after the wolf explosion is the best hunting in the state!! I just moved to Ohio this year so I don't have to change over equipment except I'm going to get a straight wall cartridge rifle good luck everyone love what you do who-tee-who!!!
Thanks who tee here in upstate NYS one county is SG the next rifle. Thanks again
Nice work nice Shotgun & nice shooting
From a Australian thanks heaps
I always loved hunting with slugs even in smooth bore. I bought the cheapest rifled slug shotty a Mavrick 88 and with those same hornadys I would have no issue out to 150 with full confidence I'd hit where I'm pointing . And I love the Boom !!! Lol . Mater of fact tommorow I'm sighting a new BDC scope on it. My lat was just a single cross hair sighted 1.5" high at 50 and at 150 . Was just about 3/4" low . For a slugger I'll take it .
It's always a blast shooting slugs! Looks like Crimson Trace is making some nice scopes! Also, I really like your Weatherby's! They're really nice looking guns!🇺🇲✝️🇺🇲
Who Tee Who . enjoyed this video & your explanation of that Crimson Trace BDC scope was spot on. Thanks for the doing the work.
Appreciate you watching
Heck yeah bud, that’s a super sweet set up. I’m impressed.
I live in the central valley of California. We have a couple of areas we deer hunt that are shotgun or bow only. I have a Mossberg that I use for everything now. I just switch barrels for bird or deer hunting.
Great content! Fantastic! Thanks 😊
Ohio here, we can use straight wall cartridges 357 or larger with 6 inch or longer barrel, 3 round capacity only no matter the gun.
That's what I thought. I just moved to Ohio at the end of last year deer season and I seen somebody else comment here that they're going to be building an AR and my question is in an AR platform can you use a larger magazine just only put in two plus one? Or how does that work cuz I could see a lot of ways people could cheat that? TIA
I think that's a great scope. I may have to set me up a slug gun, and give one of those a try too.
Awsome video.very educational!,,,loved it👍✌
Another good vid and thanks for posting! As an Ohio hunter I reckon that shoulder of yours is carrying a reminder of your range day...those sluggers buck a bit. booya!

“In my mind, it’s gonna equal out “. Lol.
That’s exactly what I was thinking..
You should find out if one of your viewers reloads the Russian cast hydrant slugs those are supposedly extremely accurate
I do. They are accurate, but there’s more accurate Russian slugs out there.
Outstanding video WTW! Thanks for sharing brother!🤘🏽🤘🏽
Gonna have to get me one of those scopes for sure!!
Works pretty great
Should I sight in my slug gun at 50 or 100 yards using the same ammo that you used in this video
I love the science. Great video my guy.💯🎯👍🏾
Can't wait boss
BDC reticle is my next purchase
Around here where I live if you actually scout your hunting area a 50 yd. shot is common.
I like that scopes reticle. I love BDC for easy acquisition. A 4-16x50 would be nice for Idaho short range season .... where we need to shoot long range. Good vid!
Hi from Las Vegas
More great information from WTW, I just ordered me a rifled choke for my turkey gun, want to see how much it helps my smooth bore shotgun on slugs past 50 yards. Mine puts good groups to 50 with the smooth bore but after 50 mine hits different every shot. Hopefully the choke will help pattern them better. Thanks again and Good shooting to you and your fans. 🎥👍💯🦌🦃🥊💪🏽🙏🏻
Lower 1/3 of Michigan is shotgun only for deer.
What slugs go 1900fps? Only one i can think of is the Hornady sabots. The vast majority of slugs are around 1500-1600fps. At least most of the slugs i see around.
I live in Maine we have a rifle/shotgun season and a muzzle load season and a separate archery season
You can add Connecticut to the list of States that only allow shotguns on State land for deer season. Thanks for your great videos!!
Nice shooting, info good to know. Thanks
Great video. I live in Western New York, near Buffalo. A lot of areas I hunt are “shotgun only”. I will be putting this scope on my 2003 Beretta ES 100 Pintail, 12-Gauge shotgun with a 24” fully rifled barrel. I’ve already contacted Crimson Trace and am waiting for their suggestion on what bases to use for best performance.
You should try this with normal rifled slugs
in one of them slug gun states. Have to check out the scope.
Awesome video ...slug gun no doubt a powermachine ..love from punjab india
I think you will find if you sight the hornady in at 150 yards as recommended on the box you will achieve a flatter trajectory between 100 and 200. Its like .223 remmington is best sighted at 200 yards so it shoots 1 inch high at 100 yards
Thanks for the great information 👍 nice scope
good shooting as usual. cool scope, really impressive for slugs
Thanks for watching Jack
Brother that is a bad a** 12 gauge, awesome setup.💪👍hottadamn!!..
them Hornady sst's are the only rounds my rifled Hastings barrel ingests,
Drops them Kentucky bruiser bucks right in there tracks,
I have an H&R ultra slugger shooting Hornaday set and I shot out too 300 yards. You should check one of those out.
Good shooting WTW how about some inbtween on some of those yardages like to see how the scope tracts on them the 50 and 100 tracked very well growing up that about all we had a shotgun for everything I may have to try one on mine mine has a good trigger in it trying to group with a regular shot gun trigger pull is hard the one I have now has a good trigger pull but not hunted with it or shot much I think I shot it twice just to see if it worked cleaned and put back up but need to scope it and shoot some I like these slug videos
way to go slugger, nice video!
2nd shot perfect
Without knowing muzzle speed, this effort is empirical ...
Can you do a video doing the same thing but holding at the distance that you say so we can see it hit the whole from the first shot knowing the info from that shot, atleast to see how close it comes to it.
Great vid and very informative. I'd love to see a vid with Brenneke slugs but they seem to be not producing anything.
It is interesting to see long range shotgun shooting. I carry a 12 around our remote cabin and fishing and probably would not pull the trigger on a bear or pissed off moose unless it is less than 50 feet away hoping it’s a false charge.
If you have a pissed off bear or moose at 50 ft it may already be to late for you.
@@eac1235 I was thinking the same thing.
@@eac1235 what do you recommend for ammo carry in bear county
Great info. Thanks!
Thanks wtw for viedo love to see more slug viedos especially ones with smooth bore ,don't want to spend money for a rifled barrel. Love see one those scopes on a smooth bore to see the results of it. Love see using foster slugs , thanks from Iowa, love you're hat.
Good looking Weatherby!
Good video man.
Thanks for watching George
Thank you for your videos I live in North Texas and I use the slugs for pig hunt are they pretty good
using the ballistic calculator. a 20yd zero is the best. at the rounds apex 60 yrds its goes 1.5 inches high with a high bc 3" magnum load. with a 2 3/4 basic slug its 1 inch high at 60 yrds. both rounds are dead on the bullseye at 100 yards. its a simple point shoot 100 yrd gun. after that it drops really quick.
I live in Iowa I'm used to slug guns but we have a straight wall season now and I love my Ruger American ranch 450 Bushmaster better
That is a good looking Weatherby. Should be a deer slayer.

Rifle Khan Venator 71cm barrel, ammunition rottweil exact 12/70 at 100 meters straight into the target without falling
7 1/2" drop for 50 additional yards seem a bit much. I use that ammo with a Mossberg 535 pump. It's been a few years since I did that test but I thought mine went down 3 1/2"
I built a rifled gun for my Buddy and using Remington sabots, it also dropped only about 3-4 inches.
I like the video
For an accurate siting in, you should have used a Lead Sled shooting adjustable rest. This way it is is set up without the possibility of movement. The block you rested that gorgeous Weatherby on, wasn’t stable enough the way it looked.
Would there be a big difference if you used a smooth bore barrel? More drop?
Nebraska we can use slugs , rifles, handguns, or black powder rifles in the rifle season
So the holdover points on a BDC reticle are right where you hold on your target, below the crosshairs, regardless of magnification, & your round should impact right where you aimed?
Indiana is not a slug only state. High powered rifles are legal for private land. However public is shotgun, muzzleloader, or straight wall rifle.
Im wondering if that loose slide your resting the front end on isnt throwing the shots off.
I dropped a buck last year at 165 yds with my 12g shotgun with a nikon bdc using Remington accutips.
My son dropped a buck this year same setup at 100yds.
My furthest to date is 175yds but I didn't find that buck.
I love the green tips but I have not been able to find any of them did they stop making them?
@jacobalexander8166 they make them you can find them online, but their around $5 a shot now
thanks for the video!
Thanks for watching
You should do a 6.5 grindle review and bullet drop
Soon
Not bad at all! 👍
If you read the box of sst it says that it's o drop at 150 yards and 2.8 inches high at 100 yards
Nice video that scope looks sweet. But seriously why did they pick a 250 gr slug for their measurements? I don't think I've ever seen that size in a store lol.
What kind of scope rings are those Mr. WTW? My apologies if you said it and I missed it. They look like a sturdy set of rings on the slugger. Thanks again for doing these tests and sharing them with us. Much appreciated. Thanks from ur neighbor in Kentucky.

If you ever get a chance to try the Henry garden gun, that might be a fun review.
You can use a rifle in Ohio but it has to be straight wall cartridges. I'm actually building an ar 15 chambered in 350 legend (waiting on parts) for my daughter to deer hunt with. And I have the exact scope but for 350 legend. I'm excited to see how accurate it is.
Where are you getting a three round mag for the AR at? I just moved to Ohio and the regs all day three round max two+1 just curious how I can get one of those mags
@@jacobalexander8166 you can use any mag as long as you only have 3 rounds in it. I usually have a 2 10 round mags with 3 loaded in them with me when I hunt.
Thank you.
I don't normally go out past 25 yards with my shotgun. Lol. Love these videos though. Interesting to see all the differences in calibers.
I run those SSTs sighted for 150y and will check zero at 75y which is 2" high. I can throw a 4ish inch group at 200 with them.
Nice I like those weatherby. Shotguns. And I have quite a few shotguns of different makes. Thought about getting a rifled barrel for mine. I'd say 50 to 80 yards is a fair shot. With a slug. But I guess you could shoot further. I'd prefer a rifle. If shooting further. Out myself. , but for short distances. A slug will surely get the job done. Plenty of energy and is a bone breaker at short yardage 50 to 75 yards.
