Black Powder At 500 Yards

[kwhi43]

This 10 shot match was shot at Friendship last week at 500 yards. It was in a
slug gun match. This just shows what can be done.

Do I understand those are shotgun slugs at 500?

 

[kwhi43]

I believe most everybody shoots a 45 caliber

Nice target! Hope the weather was good? Just curious . . how wee the wind conditions when that one was shot?

Do I understand those are shotgun slugs at 500?

No, in the muzzle loading world, the term "slug gun" refers to custom made muzzle loading bench rest rifles with barrels designed to shoot bullets instead of patched round balls.
These guns usually shoot paper patched bullets loaded through a false muzzle.

I wish I could find a photo but searching "slug gun" on Google only seems to bring up pictures of modern shotguns with scopes on them.
