[QUOTE="snox801, post: 731846, member: 54383"] Been doing some comparing heres what I came up with. First after switching to accutips I have shot clean through every hog I have shot even through the shoulder. This fall was Lucky enough to recover a slug. Deer quartering away 153 yards away went in about 17 inches broke two ribs the shoulder and got caught buy the skin. Perfect expansion and still weighed 240 grains. That being said I also compared it to the 45-70. Bullets are in the same spectrum of weight. The 20 slug shoots about 600 fps faster with the same bullet weight. 45-70 has been a go to gun for buffalo for years. Am I missing anything because this tells me the 20 should be better. Same weight straight lead to lead slugs but one moves fast logic says it should be better right? [/QUOTE]
