In reply to:
The 4-bore double was useless as a stopper?!! Penetration 3 inches under the skin!!!!!!!
You guys can't seriously believe this!
Squib load? Very soft lead?
In general the 4 bore was noted for its piss-poor penetration. Art Alphin calculated that the 4 bore has the same penetration index as a 22 hornet. But 3 inches is a bit suspect.
