Thread: slugs

I have improved cyl choke but not so good for bunnies. I was thinking of buck but lots of risk of gut shooting the pig or it running on into thick stuff.

Buck shot is way easier and will be quicker than a slug as your already shotgunning and will not have to change anything to hit the target. I have shot a few pigs with buckshot, best be as close as you can. You wont have any choke issues with OO either.

You could with a slug too , with buck shot you have got 8 other chances to hit the vitals. That's my thoughts anyway , I always carry them when out shotgun shooting on the hill. I have heard of a improvised way of making a slug of sorts . You get your shotgun cartridge and just where the wad finishes your pair around the case with a knife. You cut virtually through . Apparently the whole end goes as one . I was going to try it but was not game enough , sounded to dodgy . Anyone else heard of it ?
