[QUOTE="Shadowrider, post: 2095100, member: 3099"] I'd like to see what a 1oz old style foster slug at full power velocity would do at inside the home ranges. Say 3 to 20 feet. I've read that they are not likely to over penetrate because they basically turn themselves inside out with expansion. The key here is impact at enough velocity so it would appear that the low recoil stuff wouldn't be the route to go. But I sure wouldn't use them with testing because I dont' know if I buy the theory or not. I have seen some test on gelatin but like you say, gelatin ain't exactly real world. My idea of a test would be on a skinned hog. Maybe throw a layer of denim over it. The hogs skin would be too tough to be realistic but without it and proper shot placement you might get a realistic simulation. I'm relatively certain that OO buck loads in the house are just gonna hit and keep on trucking. The low recoil versions at 1125FPS might be alright but I'd rather have #4 buck I think. It's going all moot for me anyway because I'm going to .300 Blackout for this. 220 grain subsonics. [/QUOTE]
