Cut shell vs Wax

[Bcviking]

- One of these days some damn fool is going to run a cut shell steel shot load through an old gun with a fixed full choke and run out of luck.

i only use low brass lead shot target loads for ''cut shells'' .. but you never know what some damn fool will do

You should try works nice . See wax loads on you tube.

One of my favourite Einstein quotes goes something like "It's impossible to make anything that's 'fool-proof', because fools are so ingenious."

I have a Norinco HP9 that i have shot thousands of cut shells and wax slugs through .. The gun and the barrel is fine , just as good as the day i bought it .

I don't doubt it. I was referring to the way he slams open & close that SxS hammer gun.

Ja, or maybe a 3-1/2" mag in a damascus barreld gun chambered for 2" shells....

There is no limit to the potential dumb things someone could do.

Just like another potentially dangerous hobby.... Reloading!
I mean... can you imagine that some people put bullets of varing weights on multiple powders in cases of different calibers!!!
Some poor damn fool is going to load his .308 with a 300 grain .45 cal slug and power it with Bullseye, and he'll be "out of luck!"

- Well, okay, maybe I was being a bit of an old nanny.

Takes a pretty big man to admit a mistake like that in public.

You, sir, are one of those big men.

I disagree my friend.. Just for the record, there only for a little target practise and some fun. !

I think I'll simply stick to the conventional stuff, like slugs.

I may have some reservations with the cut shells, but just because I haven't tried em yet. I did, however, do a couple of range tests with some wax slugs that I made from #2 shot and, dang. Punched through two separated layers of 3/4 plywood and then spread the #2 shot into the hill behind. Still lots of power coming out of the back of the 2 layers of ply, too. First hole looked like a slug, second hole was about 50% bigger but clean through. Not bad in a pinch...
