[QUOTE="Hand Skills, post: 1484670, member: 103303"] I too am curious about your results. I've seen a few cases of slugs getting turned by the resistance of heavy bone. Considering the low sectional density <.150, low velocity, and low hardness this is not surprising. Compounded by a questionable SG or 'twist', the ballistics support some of the spooky results people see when big bones get in the way big slugs. Same for buckshot. Steel and copper are harder than lead, but have a much lower density, which translates into lower SD given equal diameter shot. To me TSS sounds like a great solution to the penetration problem. While I miss the utility of a 12ga, I've found what I feel is a better fit for my needs. [/QUOTE]
