Which shell to use

Postby jarbo03 » Thu Sep 13, 2012 8:30 am

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.

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.
