You can tell most of these post are not from folk who live in a shotgun only state. Shot placement being equal a SP .308 will do far more damage than a FOSTER slug. In reality foster slugs punch a neat round whole and disturb very little of the surrounding tissue. Centerfires on the other, depending on bullet construction of coarse, transmit wholesale shock and damage to anything even close. Every year one or more hunters get shot in the chest with foster slugs while deer hunting here in Iowa. A good percentage of them make it (i.e. most). The results would not be even close if hit with a centerfire rifle using proper bullets.
