not trying to dispute your choices or opinions.


i'm told and read all the time about how
obsolete the firearms i use are and how
anemic the rounds i use are. i agree the
man in the video is doing a shooting stunt
and i would never try to shoot an animal
at that range. but - he did show the ammo
and the gun he used had plenty of steam
to punch right through that board and barrel
at that range, which i've been told before
that a foster slug in a smooth barrel wouldn't
even make it that far. i was impressed that
he was able to score offhand like that.
 were someone to be
shooting at me at that range my first thought
would be to get away, but i'd likely send a
few back if i could regardless of what i had
in hand.

I don't disagree that a foster slug will go that far or retain energy , you can prove this by looking up the test that were used to change some mid west states hunting laws to allow handgun rounds to replace slug gun use as the slug would go farther and retain more energy. It's hitting something on purpose at that distance under field conditions that would be a bit of a streach.  ;)
If ya can see it ya can hit it !
