[QUOTE="Charles A, post: 12830, member: 231"] [b]Re: 2 TX Deer with SGK\'s[/b] Budlight, the reason the 12G slug works so well is because it has a huge crush cavity, doesn't really matter has fast its going when it's almost an inch in diamater. [img]images/icons/shocked.gif[/img] I dont know what bullet your talking about, but we have shot ALOT of deer from 35-180lbs with Matchkings.
