[Slug load]
Europeans have long utilized their .410s (or 36 gauges) with diminutive slugs to pursue game such as “cinghiale.” Chinghiale are small feral pigs, loathed in Italian vineyards because of their enormous appetite for delicious and awfully expensive grapes. We call this .410 solution for pig problems (and other smaller than deer-sized game) “ the .410 Thug Slug.” This 125-grain slug at 1723 FPS might just save your next bottle of Brunello di Montalcino from the voracious marauding hordes of wild boar:
