Straight walled rifle?

[RealMuddyboots]

The slug gun has been proven to be higher risk than even 30-06 180gr bullet. PA had a military ballistics lab do a study on potential down range risk from 12ga 350gr sabot, 30-06 180gr versus 50cal mz 150gr pellets 250gr sabot. I posted up complete study in the PA semi auto thread. I also used this study in 2009 for the support of the MI straight wall rule.

Would you ever choose to use a straight wall cartridge in an area that does not require them?

One piece of property I hunt: I’m very conscious of the houses creeping closer each year. And I do wonder, however improbable it might be, that a 308 round would travel to one of those homes.

So, I’m beginning to wonder about a slug gun or a straight wall gun.

Of course. Why would you use anything else?
