Shotgun hunting
Hi,
I would like to find out if anyone walks and stalks with shotgun?
I 'm thinking of using mine for that purpose once the lisence is approved.
Does anyone have advice on best load for that?

Re: Shotgun hunting
Hornady makes an amazing hunting slug, but it's damn expensive. I'm following this thread with interest.
Won't a Sellier and Bellot Rifled Sport Slug work just as well? ~432 grains of lead at ~1,450 FPS?

Re: Shotgun hunting
I've used the S&B and the old penetrator slugs by Swartklip very successfully. Adds a different dimension to the hunt. Punches a hole so to speak. Black powder rifle performance.

Re: Shotgun hunting
That's why I'm asking - rifled slugs? I'm very inclined to put the RDS I have on my lever gun on my shotgun. With the accuracy I have seen with those rifled slugs it'll turn it into a shotfun.
