[QUOTE="Hunter 257W, post: 5012858, member: 12277"] Having shot a number of deer with cast bullets with their limited velocity, similar to a shotgun slug, I've learned that it's a whole different ballgame compared to high velocity rifle bullets. The shape of the nose or meplate makes a huge difference in killing power. A big flat nose kills all out of proportion to what you'd expect at low velocity. My 200 grain 35 caliber cast bullet fired from the 35 Remington at 1900 ft/sec drops deer fast and sounds like a cannon ball hitting them. This 12 gauge slug has a far greater meplate area than does that 35 caliber bullet. It don't need to expand one bit to be far larger than any rifle bullet. They would drop a deer fast. [/QUOTE]
