All slugs actually kill through penetration. The Brenneke should be an excellent choice. Another good choice could be the Lightfield Hybred slug. 1 1/4 oz, 1400 fps. The advantage some saboted slugs will have over Foster-types is higher sectional density. (and therefore, tendency to penetrate more deeply)

I actually was reading an article last night where T/C 450-grain saboted slugs (this was a pistol round in sabot) were used in this capacity. They never penetrated all the way through...Whatever you choose, make it heavy.
