The doe dressed out at around 85 lbs, a yearling. Shot was 30-35 yards, she was slightly quartering towards me. Slug entered one rib back from the shoulder crease,busting three ribs, exited three ribs further back, both lungs shredded, liver hit. She made 70 yards or so at a dead run(literally) on a flat field.
Just for comparison, the autopsy(Field dressing) showed almost as much damage as a similar doe taken same day by best buddy, with a M/L loaded with 100 gr of Pyrodex pellets, and saboted 300 gr bullet.50 yd shot, similar placement.
Again, there's no ineffective slugs for deer in 12 gauge. This one groups into about 4" edge to edge at 100 yards in this 870, and under 5" in my other slug shooter. YMMV.
How about other folks who got lucky this season with various slugs posting their results? It may help newbies is we had a database for comparison's sake.
Thanks...
