[QUOTE="TheLBLman, post: 3950963, member: 1409"] Overall and generally speaking, my vote goes to the slug gun. As asked, for "deer hunting", not shooting all targets at 250 yards. Even in Iowa, I'd speculate the average deer is killed at less than 100 yards range? Part of what makes a weapon overall "superior" is it's ease of use and reliability under the majority of situations. I believe with exception to a very slight accuracy advantage, the shotgun slug gun wins on each other point we might weigh. Personally, I hunt much more often in a pouring blowing rain than I want to take a 200-yd shot (during TN's current muzzleloader season timeframe). But for each of us, the better question becomes relative to our personal deer hunting applications. Then, the answer becomes highly dependent on just which muzzleloader is compared to just which slug gun. For me, even though I currently do most of my TN muzzleloading with a Savage smokeless that is every bit as accurate as most centerfire rifles (out to 200 yards), if shotgun slugs were legal during our current TN "muzzleloader" season segment, I'd be deer hunting then with a slug gun, which would be an overall superior weapon for my applications.
