[QUOTE="Muddyboots, post: 1825306, member: 63925"] This was very common 50+ years ago when guys couldn't afford slugs and only bought one kind of shotgun ammo for everything from rabbits to deer. In the Adirondack Mountains it was called a hillbilly slug. Some guys used a pipe cutter to get perfect cut rounds so the wad and upper half of the round went perfectly with the shot downrange like a slug. I saw it done with old single shot HR and made sure I was way behind him when he shot. Effective "cut round range" for deer was about 25 yds he told me. Nope, not even dreaming of doing something that crazy. Stuff like this ends up on the Darwin Awards page: [URL='https://darwinawards.com/rules/']Darwin Awards Page[/URL] [/QUOTE]
