We're on a 20-acre roughly square parcel in the Texas Hill Country. Perfectly legal for us to fire weapons out here. Also, we're overrun with dove, which our niece is keen to hunt. From the center of the parcel it's about 450 feet to the nearest fence. Assuming 12ga #7.5 shot shells, would it be...

Greetings, comrades. Long-time lurker, first-time poster here. Spousal unit is researching the Model 642. S&W has two SKU numbers for this revolver, 163811 and 150972. Able Ammo has both listed (out of stock, of course) with a $3 price difference. Damned if I can see anything...
