How far can you kill a deer with a slug?

The general rule for a clean, one-shot kill on a deer – sized animal is about 900 ft-lbs of retained energy at the point of impact. Most saboted slugs (commercially loaded) carry at least this amount of energy out to approx. 125-150 yds. Most Foster slugs, however, only have this amount out to about 100 yds.

How accurate is a 12 gauge slug at 100 yards?

Maximum effective range is limited as much by the slug’s rapid decay of energy and velocity as by its poor accuracy.” Published in 1964, the “Fact Book” states that a typical 12-gauge, 1-ounce slug traveling at 1560 fps loses 60 percent of its energy at 100 yards.

How far can a slug travel in a day?

But with these figures, we can work out how far a snail could cover: there are 1440 minutes in a day. So 13 inches, or about 30cm, in 2 minutes, means 21600 cm (or 216m) in 1440 minutes (1 day). So a snail could travel about 200m in a day.

How long would it take a snail to go 1 mile?

It takes 33 hours for a snail to travel one mile. The US is 2680 miles wide.

How far can a snail travel in 8 hours?

Terrestrial snails can travel travel about 1 meter per hour, so about 24–25 m in 24 hours. However, snails are generally only active at night, so they would probably not cover more than about 2/3 of that distance in a temperate zone summer night. Marine snails, being larger, should be able to move faster.
