I'd load the car with guns and dogs and ammo and probably beer, and head to Sheepdog's house!!

(I just wanted to be the first person to post in a new forum. :? )

Mission accomplished.

Aaaahh, I hate to mention this, but there's a two-pie cover charge...one cherry...one blueberry, and Hostess just don't cut it.....and it's BYOB...bring your own bullets.....

 

[Bountyhunter]

I'll bring mine. I'm up to 1200 45 acps right now. I'll load up another 200 by the weekend's end. I'm shooting for 2000.

I was talking to my dad the other day, and he still has about 1500 to 2000 Winchester AA 12 gauge halls in cardboard drums (left over from our trap shooting days) up in the top of the garage. I told to him to get 'em down, cause I think a couple thousand 12 gauge rounds ready to go in dry boxes might not be a bad idea. I got some loading to do.

 

[Snuffy]

have ya seen the price of shot these days ? Sure is high.

 

[Johngoboom]

Yeah, I'm not looking forward to buying lead. He still has 100 LBS of 7 1/2's that I can use and 50 Lbs of T-Shot, but when that runs out, it's going to get alot more expensive.

 

[sheepdog]

almost bad enough to load with dimes and pennies....think of gettin' a load of those in the face.....

 

[Johngoboom]

That would make you ugly in a hurry! :mrgreen:

Actually pennies & dimes don't work as good as you would think. They tested different loads on an episode of Mythbusters by shooting them at hog carcases. The round shot did much more damage than the pennies & dimes. If the coins don't hit on the edge they don't do much & only a small percentage will actually hit on the edge. Once again Fact is Stranger than Fiction.

I just love that show. Thanks to DVRs I've never missed an episode. I know they might not allways be right, I just love watching them build stuff. They got all the cool tools! Not to mention Kari Byron is HOT IMHO! Something about a girl that can build stuff just turns me on!!!!

 

[Bountyhunter]

I saw that episode. They were trying because of Bob Ollinger (spl?) the sheriff who held Billy the Kid.

I've always thought a red-head that can knows how to explode stuff was hot....when I watch that show, it's only to see her.....

 

[Deadeye]

Yea and they've brought Scotty back for some of the shows. Love Tattoed women!!!

Depending on the load size a 150# may be all you need. If you need more then I'd go for buckshot. It'll slow down your loading but I wouldn't think you'd have more than a 50 left to load.

7 1/2 @ 1 1/8 Oz = 1420
T-Shot @ 1 1/2 Oz = 530
