[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 1833693, member: 2736"] You are singing to the choir. I like the doubles best of all and the OUs even better but I have owned 2 OUs in 3.5 inch and didn't like the muzzle rise because it took to long to get back on target. The 2 & 3/4's and 3 inch didn't have this problem. and for hogs up close I trust the 3& 1/2 inch double 00 to get the job done. I have helped many friends track hogs that they wounded and always carry my shot gun for close up and uncomfortably fast ticked of hogs. Many times I only had time to point and shoot. I don't use sites because there is no time in many cases. No question that slugs have more potential energy, but 18 .33 caliber bullets traveling at 1200 ft/sec offer a lot of killing power also if you add them up. The main reason I like the Semi Auto's is the speed and control you have when shooting heavy shot charges. My favorite way to hunt hogs is with a rifle so range/distance is not an issue. But wounded hogs take on a totally different scenario and I just like the shotgun for close up emergencies. Different terrain, requires different solutions. J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
