custom .410 slug gun

[BANG]

I just became aware of these they seem pretty sweet to bad its a no go here for big game.
Guys are getting 45/70 performance out of custom guns with custom loads.
And apparently the regular old school .410 with over the counter slugs are fairly common for close range deer hunting in some states.

A 410 3" slug is more than needed, but less than legal.

Could kill a deer but there's lots of better choices

.410 slugs are illegal for big game in Alberta!

Im sure most people are well aware of that dick.
Just thought it was interesting how innovative people get to squeeze 45/70 performance out of a round most people use for grouse and rabbits.

I see your point, but thought it would be prudent to bring attention to the obvious, for the sake of assuming everybody has a firm grasp on the rules and regs......

After reading the article, I can understand why.
