Im new to slugs, I know what rifled slug is and i know what a saboted slug is......but i hear guys talk about foster slugs and im not sure what they are?
With deer, yes. But with elk it's a whole new game, especially if you hit the shoulder bone.jeager106 said:. . . . Brenneke slugs tend to be built a little thicker than American fosters and thus tend to penetrate better tho that is really a moot point on the typical whitetail deer now ain't it?
I've done it without any catastrophic results, and from my understanding conventional soft lead factory loaded foster slugs won't produce any damage to the average gun. However, I got a goodly amount of leading in the choke and accuracy was less then optimum.andrewkitney said:Does that men i could pass a foster slug through a full choke barrel?
Why would I use a shotgun slug on an elk ? Elk are hard to find and hunt down during rifle season up here because their rutt is already done and over with by opening day --- hunting regs. specify "Full-Brow Tine Bull Only" in almost every hunting district.jeager106 said:Of course you are spot on correct. On elk I would not use the fosters at all.
If I had to use a slug on elk, (why would you?) I'd go with a Brenneke or, much better still, the Dixie. . . .
