A better slug design for hunting.

HI I would like to ask why would you want it to frag , I have found slugs which frag cant be used for hunting larger smll game as it wont reach vitals with pcp guns , can you explain please why you like them better for hunting ?

I know them would be great on small stuff like small birds you dont eat , but say a coyote sized animal , they come apart and do not penetrate well I have had this happen even with many deep hollow pointed slugs ,I am talking about hunting medium to large sized small game now , not sparrows ,

I have found a soft lead slug works best for this LOU

OK, I'll take 200 of the fragmenters in .357 please!

There is a lot of small game and pests between sparrows and coyotes like rabbits, squirrels pigeons, crows, raccoons and groundhogs to name a few. Most all pellets and slugs I've seen don't expand much on game unless hitting bone and just poke small holes and waste energy as they pass on though. A slug shot into the chest area that would dump all its energy in majority of critters I mentioned would be more effective than poking a small hole. A lot of small game has been shot with shotguns so the occasional pellet is encountered is not a big deal. Plus if you can place the shot in the chest that can lesson fragments in the edibles. If you are going after larger critters like raccoons, groundhogs and larger critter you better be using the larger calibers or sticking with head shots. So in my opinion a fragmenting slug would really be useful on a wide range of game and pests and also lesson the chance of ricochets when shooting critters on the ground. IMHO Bill

This is the same idea cci has with their segmented .22 rounds. And after using those on small animals you would understand why these will work. These are really exciting to see, I figured someone would come out with the idea of these eventually.
