| Anyone ever used Hornaday SST shotgun slugs for deer? I shot them today in my Winchester. They seem to group really well. I would like to see how they do on a deer. I am switching over from Remington Slugger slugs. These are lighter and are supposed to shoot flatter and give more range. | |

| Well, I have been using slugs for years in OH. Here on base you can either use slugs or a muzzleloader. I have both, but prefer to use the slug gun for quicker follow-up shots. I have not been afield with a weapon yet, but I do plan to hunt this weekend. Next weekend (17-18) I plan to blackpowder hunt on some public land in central KY. | |
