Many of the slugs available on the market are rather frangible and lack penetration on heavy game.
; They should, however, do for pigs that can be killed with buck shot.
; Recoil will be similar to buck loads.
; When considering shooting slugs, one should always pick up several brands with different slugs and shoot them deliverately to find which shoot well enough. They are not all equal and different guns shoot them differently.
: Many people don't realize a 12 bore with slugs, buckshot or heavy duck loads kicks about the same as a heavily loaded .45/70 marlin, getting close to a 9 1/2 pound .458.
; Indeed, a 3" 12, with 1-7/8ounce puts out about 54 pounds recoil - close to identical to a .458.
; 2 3/4" kick less, but not a lot less.
; Felt recoil is a subjective thing to some extent - some people 'feel' more than others.
