So what yer sayin Skeet..is that iffin they clean the gun and do a lil brushin..that the gun would be ok? Hmmm...makes sense.
I reckon alot of people just dont do that. I love old guns..and I will not buy one iffin I find out they had slugs shot through em.
While you might clean yer gun after shootin slugs..not everybody would. As fer as buckshot goes..you can easily wound/not drop a deer usin buckshot. but that is entirely up to the shooter in my opinion. Iffin they dont pattern their gun or just take a stupid shot (i.e 60 yrds runnin through a thicket) chances are better that you'll have the deer at least run a ways. Down here, deer is usually runnin through the woods (dog huntin) so unless yer a decendant of Annie Oakley..shootin a slug through that just aint practical. Er at least to me..cause I caint hold that title..lol
With the exception of a couple times rifle huntin..which I was very proud of..but sure couldnt pull that off every day lol
