[QUOTE="HawkeyeFan, post: 478315, member: 24719"] I have had this crazy idea after watching a decent buck hang around at about 275 and not come a step closer then prance out to about 350 and trot away never to be seen again. Could 12 gauge 3 inch hulls be loaded with high ballistic coefficient slugs in the .408 to .50 caliber range and be shot out a custom fast twist barrel of some sort. The bullet nose could project from the hull if one was careful to load one at a time or use a single shot. The high BC would retain what vekocity you could get and they would not need to expand as .50 cal is pretty much pre-expanded. A dial the range type of scope could make this pair deadly out to 300 maybe even 400 yards? Am I crazy or has recoil from all those slugs through the years basjed my brain in? HawkeyeFan [/QUOTE]
