Everyone has turned the question into hunting ethics. The question was " could it be done " not " I try it all the time ". Charlie, the gentleman who ask the question, shoots a couple of 8ga guns with heavy loads and just threw the question out for discussion. I'm a member of the PGCA and go on their web site every day. Oh Charlie likes to hunt turkey, deer [ had a round ball mold made for it ], and Dr. Pepper cans with his 8ga. Claims he gets 4 hits at 70 yards on the cans. Not bad. Paul
