We had a pine get "beetle kill" and after a year it was still too stout to fall in a storm so I decided it was time to cut it down... No chainsaw but I do have a few "boom saws" here....
It took many field load 7 1/2's in 20 and 12 gauge... Junior decided he could drop it with a dozen or so slugs... WRONG! took more field loads...
Than it was pushed over by my 18 year old knuckle dragger!
The blackness is proof that they use alot more powder in a slug!
Part of home security is to leave piles of hulls in the yard... Brave or stupid is the person that walks past this mess to break in here!
Here is a 12 gauge slug and a "remnant" recovered from the stump... in the center is pine wood... notice the 7 1/2 pellet lodged in there...
That flattened blob of lead would be a trouble maker for any living mammal...
