Shotgun is great for small fast moving game like rabbits, or for quick swing shots on hogs, but for deer it is probably not the best solution. I would visit a few gun shops to compare prices for a reasonable deer rifle. |

Some states in the USA only have a shotgun season for deer, this due to the projectiles being more limited in range. I know of a few guys that only use shotguns in the Western states for elk in deep thick timber where shots are up close and personal. Sooooo... back to the OP, whatcha planning to hunt? I can tell you from experience both slugs work as does 00 buckshot. Most slugs benefit from a dedicated slug barrel though. -DallanC |

I suppose I am thinking hunting in Australia where a shotgun would be the last gun you would select for deer. I think it's time I started looking for a "rifled choke" for myolder Faustian Stefano O/U. |

I was getting 3" groups in a smoothbore (cylinder) with Brenneke slugs. |

Is that at 100 yds? If so that's a damn fine group. What shotgun? |
