Bob,
Slug shooting weapons have come a long ways over the years.
If memory serves me correctly,it was in the late 50s that Ithaca made their Model 37 with a "roto-forged barrel" designed for slugs.
Then,over time,slug designs have greatly improved and I think it was Hastings that designed the slug barrel rifled for slugs.
Years ago,wash tub sized groups were the norm,now some pretty darn nice groups are being shot.
If you are into big pain,try shooting a Brenneke 3 inch magnum slug. Trick is you give it to the bear to shoot it!!!
Touch one of those off and you will know that the bull pooped in the buckwheat for sure!!!
