Shawn, FYI, the old Remington 7/8 oz 12 ga slugs would rarely exit deer on broadside chest hits. Usually they would be found up against the farside ribs, and flattened into about a silver dollar size/shape.

If you want to roll your own, Lyman still makes a mold for the 7/8 oz slug, I believe.

Agreed on 100 yards.
