All the 3 inch slugs do that the 2 3/4 inch ones won;t is go through your money faster.No der on Earth can tell the difference when hit between the two, and neither can the hunter.

MD deer run big in the farm land I hunt. Use of Forster type slugs,properly placed, means short blood trails Ray Charles could follow.

Took a yearling doe year before last on a herd control hunt,centerpunched the shoulder at about 35 yards and watched tissue explode outwards. Doe made 30 yards...

Broadside shots usually have exit wounds.

Lots of old threads here about this, a little browsing can give lots of input...
