I wandered into the local Gander Mountain today, to pick up some 20ga target loads for some folks I'm introducing to sporting clays. With not much time to burn, I walked straight over, picked up a few boxes and started back to the registers.
About halfway there, I stopped dead in my tracks, did a quick double-take, and started laughing... loudly. My kids were trailing by a couple steps and immediately began asking why I'd obviously fallen off my rocker.
Pointing to a large display of non-toxic loads, I showed them the one showing a price of $39 for a box of 10 Hevishot shells. Now, I'll freely admit to spending a ridiculous amount of money on my shooting and hunting. I even spent most of a season using Hevishot on pheasants, just to see how it performed (which was "darned well"). However, that's up in the insane category.
Needless to say, I'll be using the Hevishot I've got stockpiled from previousl seasons... and when that runs out, I'll be using steel. I'll also probably avoid GM.
