12 Guage Hunting or HD load

I honestly am on the fence on this one. I think it would serve both purposes well. (Larger game on the hunting side in thick country) Have not talked to anyone who has actually used them though. If you have chime in.

I'm no expert but a fragmenting slug seems good for hd but I don't know about large game. I would stick with Dixie Slugs -DGS or Tri-Ball or Brenneke - we know these work for sure.

This exact stuff came up recently - if you can find them here, the question still begs...Why? - if you really feel you need something like that for HD, you must really live in a crappy neighborhood. Basic buckshot in a variety of flavors, is a lot less expensive and more readily available

Never heard of it till this post but just looking and reading the writeup it seems like a gimmick to me. A lot like I read on every new and wonderful gun thing to hit the market, they are all revolutionary. I'll wait till I read a few objective reports on the effectiveness of the slug from a writer with no stake in the sale of these things. Till then I think I will keep buying shot and slugs.

Standard slugs are hardly made by Nerf. These may or may not be more effective than a given slug, but they'll have to open up a season on velociraptors before I feel the need to try these......

I'm wanting to try them... well... just because they are there. Sure looks like good Hog medicine to me.

I would stick with the tried and true options as well, especially Tri-Ball.
