Those old ladies with their groceries are really becoming a nuisance. Would anybody at least recommend buckshot for old lady defence?
:lol:

All modern slugs are made to pass safely through a full choke... Challengers are a harder alloy than most slugs and I find them prone to pass-throughs and wounding

When I had a smoothbore I used challenger slugs exclusively in a full choke. ANYTHING THAT MAKES A 1 INCH HOLE DOES NOT NEED TO EXPAND (sorry red)

All the deer I have shot with the challengers ate dirt on the spot they were shot at.

Buck shoot will take deer at over 50 yards! Seen it done! You just have to figure out what the acceptable ratio of injured deer to killed deer is for you. :shock:

Using buckshot in an area that slugs are allowed is for those who can't hit the broadside of a barn door!!!!!!!!!!! If you practice with slugs you should be able to drop a deer at 75-100 yrds easily let alone at 30 yards!!!!!!!!!!!!! Buckshot should be BANNED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I don't no whats with this challenger slugs arn't that great. Everyone in our hunting group of 11 uses them and the deer never go far if there going far with a hole like that your not hitting them wright.
