Okay so here is a good example of a round that did what it was supposed to entrance was direct into skull between the eye exit was at skin front shoulder
tank was 3/4 full

Left is an unfired slug
You can see how the slug fragmented after opening up

What kind of animal, a Bobcat? I would have thought they had tougher heads than that. That's some kind of penetration.

Got to realize that's a 250 gr slug
But no bobcat has a fairly thin skull
The coon I shot with same kind of slug was knocked clean off his feet.

What brand of bullet was that and have you tried shooting them at long rages? If so how did they perform? I am using the 230 high arch hunters which do well out to 100 with a3" group but I'm looking for better and tighter at longer ranges .@110 they lose it Good shooting.

They are Hunter supply cast bullets I've shot them out to 100 yards but haven't tried any further.

They shoot a tight group and hit hard
