44 Mag versus 12 ga ballistics

[Willob]

Does anyone on here have the ballistic info so I can compare the 44mag rifle round to a 12 gauge slug round? How about downrange accuracy between these rounds? Thanks.

I'd look at the remington sight on the 44mag under the rifle loads and the shotgun loads.

Very interesting website. Thanks for the link

The bottom line is that the shotgun slug is going to impart a whole lot more energy on target. The hard part is getting it out there accurately.

The last loading i was doing for 44 mag rifles still held nearly 1000lb's of energy at 100 yards - certainly enough for Indiana deer.

I've seen several .44 mag rifles that shot 1.5" groups at 100 yards. I've seen shotguns that struggle to shoot 6 inch groups at 100 yards, and others that could shoot 1.5", but only with a certain LOT of a certain BRAND of slug. The owner of that shotgun bought an entire case of them once he found the "magic bullet"
