[QUOTE="Hunter 257W, post: 4539452, member: 12277"] [/quote] Thanks Hunter 257W. That's what I was looking for. So in theory, would a 12 or 20 ga. slug be more prone to ricochet at a shallow angle than a high powered rifle? (being larger mass but lower velocity). For now I may just stick with my 12 ga. rifled slug barrel.... Thanks everyone for the feedback[/quote] That's a hard one to call but I'd guess the slug would be more likely to bounce compared to say the common 30-06 just due to the slug being heavier and slower. Of course slugs vary a lot more then they used to when all slugs were pretty much foster style with a few Brenneke slugs around but nobody you knew ever used them. :) Now you've still got those plus a bunch of saboted slugs of varying weight and material.
