Best Answer

20 gauge slug develops only 648 ft. lbs. of energy at 100 yards. So depending on your size of game... you'll have to determine.

A person: 80 yards

A coyote: 50 yards

A mountain lion: 30 yards

A brown bear: 10 yards, with multiple shots. Best to get the hell out of there.

Will a 410 gauge rifled slug kill a whitetail deer and if so what is the maximum range?

http://wiki.answers.com/Q/Will_a_410_guage_rifled_slug_kill_a_whitetail_deer_and_if_so_what_is_the_maximum_range"Yes a 410 gauge with slug will kill a whitetail deer. In fact if you are under 50 yards or less, this gun is very effective. One problem seen by Division of Wildlife officials is that many hunters, out of the gun season will shoot a deer with this type shotgun, then stick a arrow into the carcass to try to fool everyone. But a trained eye can usually detect this.Yes, a 410 gauge rifled slug will easily kill a deer. Make sure your marksmanship is great and stay away from the shoulders, or other bones. They loose their energy quick so get to practicing and have fun.
