No spherical shot

[AlderTK]

is non spherical shot legal i am wondering cause of the new federal black cloud has a sharp rim around the edge i was told all be it a long time ago that only spherical shot was legal this true? i can't say i have seen any thing in the regs against it

 

[BigUglyMan]

The original Hevi-shot wasn't spherical at all. There's nothing (to my knowledge) in any regs saying that shot must be a perfect sphere.

Now try using some capital letters and punctuation. It's not that hard, honest.

The only prohibited shotgun ammunition is that loaded with flechettes - little dart-like projectiles.

Any idea why? I mean, it can't be any more lethal or dangerous than normal shot, can it?

 

[canucklehead]

Flechette rounds by design are meant to be 'anti-personnel' rounds. I'm guessing that's probably why.

 

[AlderTK]

because they have much further range as well as way better penitraion do to there center of gravity being further back from the piont of impact of an = wieght ball projectile aswell having a smaller impact point

Sounds like the flechette would be an effective load for turkeys and coyotes. Our laws are stupid.

you can say that again

kinda like hitting the target with the wight of a 00 buck but with the surface area of number 7 on impact

Not even close, a flechette weighs 8 grains IIRC. Compared to about 54 for 00.

Really??? So where can I order bolo and dragon's breath rounds???

 

[Mike K]

Bolo's are stupid and dragon's breath would be incendiary.
