I'm not changing the subject at all. Shotgun slugs are far larger in caliber, far heavier, have more ft. lbs. of energy {at least at close range}and have a much higher "TKO value" than any.30-30 bullet, yet are without doubt inferior deer killers. Kinda shoots your theory that "bigger heavier bullets just have to be better killers" all to hell there Einstein.
