The buck shot is going to penetrate more than the slug and you have 9 buggers to worry about not just one

slugs penetrate more than even large buckshot.

I have not tried the buckshot, as I am convinced their is nothing better than Federal. The slugs, however, I have shot. I find them to be VERY accurate.

Did you shoot the low recoil slugs? Or the regular ones?

Thanks

Low recoil. They are very accurate, and recoil is quite manageable. I like these slugs so much that they are currently on the sidesaddle of my duty shotgun.

I'd like to remind people that a round that may be great in one gun may pattern differnt in another. Pattern your shotgun or your results may not be what you expect.

Yep I see that,

I should have been more specific 00 Buck penetrates farther in ballistic jelly, The slugs expand and deliver more energy into that surface, I would assume its like the mythbusters where they shot rounds into a pool, the bigger the round the less "Penetration" the bullet had in the water.

If you miss the slug will penetrate more stuff, If you hit your target the slug will expand more rapidly and deliver more energy to the target than the buckshot and will have less energy if it penetrates all the way through the subject

Took two rounds of birdshot from around 12 feet for me to kill an armadillo. First, shot opened him up and he was twitching and squirming away. Second killed him. First shot would have been fatal probably within 5 minutes, but didn't want him to suffer. Federal 7.5 shot, 1 1/8 oz load from Walmart value pack.
