DDD 4 Posted February 28, 2010 Report Share Posted February 28, 2010 Police use them for instances like runaway bulls from the auction makets That said, it did take 6 of them to put a bull down after it escaped from a market close by, fired at a range of......................3 feet They managed to corner the bull & the FO managed to get up on a wall & shoot down onto it. Gave the bull one square on the bonce & it just shrugged it off Personally if after giving the bull the one on the bonce I would have been out of there 'cos thats one hard mf bull!!! Also they used to be used as door hinge removers across the water Quote Link to post
waidmann 105 Posted February 28, 2010 Report Share Posted February 28, 2010 there are a large variety in slugs from solid shot(brenneke) to sabot loaded(which are accurate to 100m). they are a valuable aid when shooting driven boar but have a very bad reputation for richochet. BEAR IN MIND THAT SHOTGUN CARTS HAVE A DANGER ZONE OF 100M PER MM, THATS A LONG WAY WITH A SLUG!!!!!!!!!!!!! Quote Link to post

Squirrel_Basher 17,100 Posted March 1, 2010 Report Share Posted March 1, 2010 (edited) Slugs I would not use anything larger than AAA for fox and BB for preferance. BB has got to be the best fox cartridge .We use the buffalo carts .Good pattern at 30 but still a killer at 40 .Solid slugs look like these mate and can only be fired in magnum shotguns ,these at least .Hatton Pattern!
