On this double gun thread I thoughI would throw out a question to those who might have tried this---

I just bought an 18 inch barreled Russell Arms side by side 12 gauge hammer gun. About 50 years old. The owner said it can shoot low brass loads all day long. The gun locks up nice and tight. I was wondering if anyone has done low velocity slug loads that I might be able to shoot out of this.

I was thinking of shooting a light foster slug or even a 20 gauge round ball slug sitting in a plastic carriage to keep it centered during the flight out of the barrel. It is choked full and mod. I thought if I keep the slug at around 7/8th oz and charge it with lower powder or powders made for lower velocity shot shooting I could use this short double barrel gun for deer at 15-35 yards. Or for shooting holes in paper. Any ideas?
