Which shell to use

My computer recently went to chit on me. I feel obligated to shoot it to put it out of its misery and make me feel better. I am not one to pass up a chance to pattern my hunting loads, it would also allow my computer to go out in a blaze of glory. My question is, which round would everyone like to see patterned on my computer?

Good choice, the 15g/cc loads shouldshould do very good. The only #4 buck loads I have are 3.5" factory loads, I refuse to touch then off through my O/U.

Turkey loads are the shit. I may or may not allegedly use them for early goose on private land. If I did, I bet they would reach out and do some damage.

Are turkey loads lead? I sure bet that a computer could use some lead poisoning.

The ones I shoot are 2oz of copper plated lead in a 3" shell. They pack a punch.

Dragons breath looks to be fun, but the round to be used will be something I have readily available for reliading. It appears to be 1 3/4oz of HW15 #7, performed very well during this years turkey season. All following shots will be a mixed bag of random reloads with slight blemishes. While very capable rounds, if the crimps aren't perfect, they did not make the final cut.

Well if you already know, then why'd you have us vote?

That is golden sig material!
Jarbo, I think you should use those home defense .410 rounds with the disks and BB's.

I too voted turkey, though I'd probably chose a duck load from a scored shell were it offered. Sure puts a hurtin' on gay arse done-turned-green GHG speck dekes when it's slow. Probably wouldn't try it with any o' those super-duper barrel-extendin' chokes though.

I vote for all four, turkey, goose, duck, and pheasant, in that order. Then repeat until there are only little pieces left.

This is the plan. week
Unfortunately I am out of ammonium nitrate. Should take place early next week, hoping to head out of town in morning to chase prairie chicken and teal.
