RE: 410 Slug for deer
That is a lil light, and you may want to check with your Laws on that cause I know here in MD you cannot use a .410... I mean with a nicely placed shot it will down a deer no problem, but with youngsters you may not get that... Even with Oldsters you sometimes don' t get it...

I agree. That slug is only the size of a single buck shot pellet. They are not legal here in NJ either. In fact, you can' t buy them in NJ that I know of. You can buy them in PA though.I use them for groundhogs in the summer.

get him a 20 gauge. he wont feel the shot when he shoots a deer. 20 gauge is plenty enought to cleanly kill a deer. i have taken lots of deer with a 20 gauge and still use a 20 gauge with buckshot for drives. i can swing it alot faster and you dont need to shoot far on a drive as deer are running through trees.
