[QUOTE="CZ284, post: 1034195, member: 3482"] These threads are always interesting. Good bit of discussion about shotgun slugs. I hunt quite a bit with them down here, primarily in the evening. I get silver dollar size groups out of a Hastings rifled barrel with a 5 MOA red dot scope. I've taken a lot of Minnesopta bucks with it. Largest was 265 pounds field dressed at about 40 yards. Farthest was 120 yards. Neither went more than 50 yards after being hit with the Federal Premium Barnes load in 2 3/4 inch shells. Like anything else, they are extremely effective if properly placed. As far as center fire rifle, I'm a 7 mm fan. My go to gun is an A bolt rechambered from 7-08 to 284 Winchester with 150 gr. Barnes bullets. Other is a custom Mauser in 7 mag. Both will do pretty much the same thing. My son shoots a TC Encore in 7-08, Barnes 150s and it's a real machine. Main thing is know what the rifle will do and shot placement. Good luck everyone this year. Be safe. [/QUOTE]
