Here is a slug I found in my son's buck from last weekend. This slug drilled a front leg and also hit also nicked the corner of the other leg bone. Shot was about 65 yards.
Here is the buck it came from.
We have taken 6 deer so far with these. I am not super impressed with them. Deer hit in the neck have all been instant kills, but rib shots, with no bone hit have been runners. Most have died fairly quick, but my son whale'ed a button buck last weekend, that ran about 250 yards, leaving me crawling on my hands and knee's trying to find pin sized drops of blood. We recovered it, but man, there was only one spot in the trail where the deer shot pink lung blood. Before that, I was afraid he had only made a leg or other non vital hit.
After that good bunch of blood, it went back to pin drops.. Either way, just wanted to throw it up. They do work, but I am not sure how I like them. I really like bigger holes with the shotguns, and we don't shoot much over a 100 yards down here, so I may experiment with some full sized slugs for this next Fall.
