So I have about 200 rds of buck and slugs just sitting. I have a little extra money and would like to get a little creative and try something different than the 00 buck/slug monotny. Any ideas? centurion multi defense? #4 buck? Dragon's Breath (lol)?

[lions]

Nothing weird here, I like #1 and #4 Buck.

[oneounceload]

How about some mundane basic birdshot and a trip to a local sporting clays course where you can try to hit targets of various sizes and distances moving at angles not thought possible?.....NEVER a boring moment

[AcceptableUserName]

I'm buying about 200 rds of 7.5 shot. I'm thinking I'll branch out and get asome #1 and #4 as well

[theotherwaldo]

Weirdest load I've seen so far involves a stack of dimes.

Supposed to spread fast.

Supposed to be good for werewolves, too.

[huntsman]

#4 buck for faster moving big targets. birdshot for really faster moving small targets.

[Antihero]

I really like Centurian's Multi load, its very accurate and im guessing a 60+caliber ball is fairly fatal to whatever its shot at.

I heard oatmeal stings......:D

Not weird but far less common, #1 and 000 are my buckshot sizes of choice.

You could DIY some custom rounds using your existing stash. I would be careful doing this and ensure you dont have a choke and verify whatever you load up those shells with will exit the bore safely. Of course, this is for informational purposes only! Try at your own risk!

I have played around w/ rock salt, cayenne pepper, ball bearings (metal and rubber) and nuts (as in nuts and bolts).

I then decided to leave well enough alone.

Have fun and be safe!

I have seen fletchess(darts), powdered metal door breaching loads,exploding,flash bombs, dragons breath, pepper spray,mace,and tear gas,rubber buckshot, rubber slug,bean bag,confetti, Buck& Ball/Buck& Slug, Macho Gaucho(metal wire between 2 large balls),tracer slug,Armor Piercing slug, double slug, two different size buck,(Rhodesian Jungle) buck & bird shot, Piranha(metal shavings),blanks,flame thrower,and Incendiary/flare just to name a few. The military has a 12g shell that launches a grenade.

[PT1911]

heard interesting things about popcorn too... but that may plug up the gun...:D

[Dimis]

to each there own but i dont think most of those rounds are worth the extra money ill stick to comercial loads of 00 and 000 buck 7 1/2 bird and slugs of various natures i have been curious about the "specialty loads" but most are so expencive per shot i cant justify them

if your looking for just some fun shooting id suggest as previoulsy mentioned shooting some trap/skeet/5 stand etc... worth the money IMHO vs. the specialty loads



P.S. the dragons breath loads are bad for barrels so use them at your own risk and not frequently

[Malckom]

years ago you could buy bird bomb 12 guage shot gun shells.Looked ;ike regular shells but when shot would go about 100 yards then go bang real loud.But was very corrosive in nature.

[Erik M]

cheaper than dirt had these dart devices, flechettes (sp?) I believe. you can buy them by the pound. The y look like finishing nails with fins on the tail end. Bet those would be an interesting 3" mag load.

[smithmax]

Flechettes and ballistic gel (http://www.thehighroad.org/showpost.php?p=4060278&postcount=1)

These are pretty interesting, but I can't imagine having to defend the use of these to a jury.

Warning! If using stacked dime loads to kill a werewolf, make CERTAIN that you use pre-1964 dimes. Newer dimes are not silver and will NOT stop a werewolf!:neener:

[earlthegoat2]

Maybe load some random trash around your house into a shotshell. Say a doritos wrapper. Maybe a mixture of peanut butter and egg nog. Some small diameter machine nuts.

It may not stop someone, but it would sure as heck confuse them!

[DRYHUMOR]

I think cylinders of 20 year old fruitcake would be the ticket. Lotta crime around the holidays don't cha know. :D

the video of specialty ammo starts at 9:30 exotic is after that

[KenWP]

Try paint balls and see what happens. If they make the barrel they should splash good when they hit.
