What is your opinion on whether I should have my wife use her rifled 20 guage slug gun to hunt black bear.

Should she use a solid lead slug or would the sabot hollow point bullet work OK. I have some concern about the copper hollow point sabot not penetrating as good as the solid lead slug. But the hollow point will definitely mushroom better.

David,
I think it would do a fine job. But I would use a 44 mag. pistol to take it out..as for the lead it should be fine.
