[QUOTE="scn, post: 5029312, member: 1859"] 1000 foot pounds of energy is sort of the accepted minimum for ethical deer hunting. My memory is that the .410 slug falls off pretty quickly. The manufacturers list it as suitable for coyote hunting. I'll stand by my statement on ethical ranges. A quick check showed the 3" Winchester slug started at only 1066 foot pounds at the muzzle. It quickly goes down from there. A 2.5" slug only starts at 745 ftpds at the muzzle. Suitable for a coyote, but, IMO, VERY marginal for ethical deer hunting. [/QUOTE]
