Ridiculous will X cartridge stop X animal thread

Perhaps....What kind of Crow and what barrel length?

Will a 16", 50 cal Mk 7 gun loaded with cornmeal stop an America's Cup racing yacht at 600 meters?

Shot placement is everything.

I've got huge crows at my house and they eat bird shot with their deer corn.

Shot a 12 point buck with 12 ga slugs four times as he ran by me with half a German sheppard hanging out of his mouth.He didn't flinch....time to go 10 gauge or maybe 8 gauge.

What weight cornmeal?

I bought brown wild rice to load in my 357 magnum with the shot capsule for shooting pythons down in the evaglades, If I miss then a rice patty will grow to feed the hungry.
Best of both worlds.

Laden or unladen swallow....errrr crow.

This thread is inane. I agree with FFoa Man. Lock it!

Countless crows are killed with bb guns every year, don't ask me how I know.
Now a crow with a grizzly bear heart transplant and the shell of a turtle, that's another story...pellet gun for those.

If it's a ghost crow, no.

You need a ghost gun for ghost crows.

Your firearms are useless against them!

sounds like ravens...they are crazy birds....eat anything, they will. Careful...Alaskan natives believe they are dearly departed kinfolk....don’t be chootin’ Aunt Matilda or Uncle Cleatus!

Crows don’t like to die. I would jump up to 6 shot. I personally use 4 shot for them when they get mouthy and keep me awake.

I agree, use #6. It's the best I've found for good pattern and range.
8 and 12 shot are primarily for dusting clays.

The furthest I have dropped a crow with a round that had the least ability to do so was with a .22 caliber RWS “springer” pellet gun at 98 yards.

Only thing I use #12 for is my pistol shot loads and they work better than my #9 loads inside 3 yards..,

Depends on if the crow is flying cross country or carrying a suitcase!
