Thanks, Gunmart. One thing...

Since I've used slugs on deer for nearly 40 years, I've noticed the old 7/8 oz slugs were the only ones that would not exit on a broadside shot. Different game there, you want an exit wound on deer for swifter bleeding and easier tracking. Reducing overpenetration in Police and HD is a worthy idea.

What you said about buckshot and different shotguns should be on a stone tablet someplace.It's a very good argument for shotguns issued to individual officers, like sidearms. However, out of all the shotguns a dept may have, MOST will have similiar results w/ 00. FEW will put slugs in the same place.

I see more usage of this round in Police and Tactical apps than in HD,but time will tell.
