Thread: Does reducing the powder charge for a 12 gauge slug safely reduce projectile speed?

find a round ball of correct diameter...and be aware,and make sure to tell you mate...shotgun slugs BOUNCE like buggery if hit something hard,slowing them down will make it more so....many years ago I nearly shot myself with 12ga solid after shooting big ram through head inside a woolshed,the projectile went around the walls and rails and stopped on decking 12'' from my leg...needless to say didnt do it again...big rams are plurry hard work to tip over for a teenager,so shooting them first was humaine on us both.
