[QUOTE="Coldfinger, post: 2142408, member: 113278"] Let me just say I grew up carrying a Stevens SXS 20 gauge model311. I got a few deer at 50 yards or so and never understood why I couldn’t hit perfect 100 yard broadside shots. Don’t laugh I was a teenager hunting was far better than what a bunch of my friends were doing! I’m pretty sure them slugs were crossing one another en-route to deer beyond 50 yards! A shotgun slug out of my smooth bore 1100 was deadly to 100 yards and some surprising ranges beyond. Don’t count on foster style slugs to expand much at the 100 yard mark at least out of a 20 gauge they’re almost reloadable if they don’t hit bone. There is just no comparison between a shotgun and rifle cartridge. But if given a choice tracking a wounded bear in brush gimme a semi auto short barreled shotgun with solid copper slugs! [/QUOTE]
