I shot a Winchester SX3 a while ago and loved it, as I understand these come under section 1
I guess the one you used was a S2 version as I'm not sure you can legally use a S1 without the authority on your own FAC (a bit like LBPs).

I stand top be corrected and would love to be wrong on this - can anyone shed some light on this issue?

Mattnall it was in the US and probably would be an S1 over here, however in Texas the same regs don't apply.

Ah, yes.
I think in Texas it is probably illegal to restrict the magazine ;)

Would slug do much more damage than a 50 grain Vmax?

You'd not play the piano again

Slug has a bit of a whack to it.

I know a slow 44mag does a lot more damage than a 223 that is a ¼ of the weight. But that was like punching a brick through the poor rabbit.
