Lock N' Load With R. Lee Ermey - Shotguns Gunny explores the history of shotguns--from a 17th century Blunderbuss to the modern day, gas-assisted M4 Super 90. Along the way, he "rides shotgun" on a stage coach as he tests a Wells Fargo Coach Gun; fires the groundbreaking shotguns of legendary gun designer John Browning; tests his skeet shooting skills against Olympic Gold medalist markswoman Kim Rhode; and heads to Camp Pendleton to check out the Marines' state-of-the-art shotguns.

Re: Lock N' Load With R. Lee Ermey - Shotguns I am a very big fan of the shotgun. There is nothing so affordable that provides so much stopping power. A 2 3/4" 1 oz winchester slug makes a permanent wound cavity 6" in diameter by 10" deep. Ponder that for a moment.

6" in diameter? In what flesh? Sounds pretty nasssstee. I love my 12 ga.'s also but I wasn't aware that they do that much damage........you sure?

Re: Lock N' Load With R. Lee Ermey - Shotguns Look up brassfetcher and look at what a 12 ga slug does to balistic gel. Box o truth also has some amazing things about slugs. I have seen a deer shot with a slug before, It was ugly.

Re: Lock N' Load With R. Lee Ermey - Shotguns I've used 12 ga. slugs for deer hunting a lot over the years. They are suprisingly accurate, even out of a smoothbore barrel at modest ranges. The killing power is almost unbelievable.

Well consider yourself lucky that you live where you live...in the lower half of MI where I live (and in other places across the country), slugs are the only option. Although I don't necessarily see what's wrong with using shotgun slugs to hunt deer...

Re: Lock N' Load With R. Lee Ermey - Shotguns Fall 1987. Central Cali Los Padres Forest. 250 pound wild boar. 12 gauge slug at 60 yards grazed chest and broke both front legs. Finished it with a .45 to the skull. Tasted great!

Nice, I wanted to go hunting some swine too. Does it make much a difference between hp slugs and regular? Central Cali huh, you went on BLM or was it some private property? How much was the permit and for how long? I know a lot of questions huh.....:favorites8: Require pm???
