Nothing new here.

Shot these for years before Iowa started to allow straight wall rifle cartridge for deer.

Similar but different. I would like to see a side by side comparison. The standard Lyman pellet shaped slug is the gold standard others are measured by.

take a look at these, I was going to start experimenting for a longer range slug for deer hunting before Iowa changed statutes on legal hunting firearms. The Lyman slug was a 200 yard minute of deer round for me, I was wanting something faster and flatter shooting. I have a custom 24" fully rifled barrel.

Ya need to wach that guy's channel that I posted. He has "real world" tested a TON of different slugs from production to custom made. The one I posted has a HUGE cavity/opening in it and flies great as well as hitting like a sledgehammer.

I killed on deer with a front chest shot and it exited out near the butthole. Deer was running hard at me, so I killed it, skidded about 25' next to me in the snow.

If I decide I need anything hotter than a regular old 3" slug I will just head over to TFL and see what the latest thing Ed Hubel has cooked up in is 12ga from hell project.

I'm so contrarian that I didn't respond to the thread.

Most of my hunting rifles have more energy down range than a 12 gauge slug and a lot more accurate. .300 and .338 Win Mags.
