Is there any such thing as 30-30 slug?

Question

In my state(PA) theres a chance that we might have to go only slugs next year. My brother said that i should buy slugs for the 30-30 and re-sight the gun in on the slugs. And i think that he's bull shittin me, cause i've NEVER heard of such a thing

Is their such a thing as a 30-30 slug?

Answer 1

The .30-30 already uses a slug in a sense. A slug is one solid bullet for a shotgun, instead of the usual multiple shot of various sizes. A rifle is not legal for hunting deer in some states. You can't use a .30-30, if your state switches to slugs only. Your brother is teasing you. I know how that feels all too well.

Answer 2

Slugs are used in shotguns.  Instead of having a shell with pellets in  them the shell has one solid piece of lead called a slug.

Answer 3

I think what PA is trying to do is get rid if buckshot in shotguns. I think your brother is having a bit of fun at your expense.

Answer 4

They are talking only shotgun slug for deer

A friend was telling me PA has been threatening that for years.

Answer 5

In slang a bullet is sometimes referred to as a 'slug.'  Used that way then yes, there would be such a thing in a manner of speaking.  Of course, if PA. switches to 'slugs only,' that really means 'shotguns only' and the .30-30 is out.  Hopefully what it really means is that when using a shotgun only slugs will be legal for deer hunting in Pa.  Then it won't affect the .30-30 at all!

Answer 6

NO, No, no such a thing.* And its not slugs only in Pa.**

Answer 7

NO! Your brother is pulling your leg.

Answer 8

I hunt in PA too, and have never heard of a 30-30 slug.

When the PGC says that an area is for "slugs only", they of course mean shotgun slugs - no rifles allowed.

Sounds like your brother is trying to have some fun with you.
