Title: 12 Ga Win Platinum tip slug performance!!
Post by: groundhog on February 11, 2009, 03:02:55 PM: Talk about a thing of beauty!! My 12 year old daughter took a spike bull in a firearm restricted area this year. Her shot was at 115 yards and she hit the bull in the front shoulder. The bullet traveled through the front shoulder hit and went through a rib (through the heart!)and hit and went through a rib on the way out and ended up underneath the skin on the off side! Check out this bad azz slug! It measures exactly one inch from outside to outside and it weighs 9/10s of an ounce. Which is what it weighed before it was shot!! I have retrieved a lot of bullets over the years but this is by far the most impressive I have ever seen. If you are going to hunt big game with a shotgun I highly recommend using Winchester Platinum tip slugs! They are bad to the bone!!!!
