Please tell me this won't work

1 1/8 ounce of 9s = 11/8 ounce of 71/2 s if he weighs the shot all things remain constant. If he subs in steel for lead and shoots thru a full choke then he has a problem. Flawed logic is hard to correct. ;)
 
The bottom line is that anyone who is not a skilled reloader is at risk doing anything like this.

If he did it and killed himself it would not be so bad but he'll probably maim himself and maybe a bystander and society will have to give him food, shelter and adult sized diapers till he dies. If he's lucky.....the only good that might come if it is he'll be eligable for a handicapped parking permit.

The only right advice to give is to use the shells "as is".

wow, so many replies that went off topic to something about starship troopers of the future lol

Probably a dumb question, but that is what I specialize in....

Why in the heck couldn't you shoot target loads at the range? Isn't that what they were made for????

Ranges are limited in California. Only place i know that allows people to shoot rifles and shotgun is up a mountain and in the middle of nowhere. They dont let people shoot buckshots/target loads because the rangemasters are afraid you might hit someone elses target and have them complain and cause problem/hate.

well lets hope he doesn't so my tax paying money dont go to his poor candy ass hahaha
 
It will shoot just fine..may not work as well as intended but it will shoot just fine. Pellets per oz (28 g) is how its measured for powder. you will just have a gross amount of weakness in your shot. Your now shooting x size buck shot through whats set up to shoot birt shot. I think that should be correct, I havnt started reloading yet but I have read about it. all in all you can shoot it just fine depending on the set up of your shotgun I dont understand why you dont just go up in the bush and shoot it off. The only time I ever go to the range is when im sighting in a gun, or im shooting a wepaon not legal in the bush of canada.


for david theres alot of reasons. at my rod n gun we have a 100 yard outsdie rang and a 50 yard in door. I dont understand how my club is so nice, we live in the middle of the bush but I love it. ANYWHO we arent allowed to shoot shotguns in general anymore cause the stands we pin our targets on are gettin blown to shreds to quickly. also when ever I end up goin to the club I seem to be the only memeber there most the time. Occasionally I bump in to some one else but we just have soo many things at our club that its almost desolate. we have an archery range set up with 3d targets takes rougly 2 hrs to get through, shotgun skeet range, old western town range for competition, 2x shooting ranges indoor and out, and a camp ground with a numerous boat launching areas.

Packing volume of spheres

With larger sphere size, there will be more empty space. Smaller spheres pack more densely, therefore will be heavier given the same volume.

Deformation of lead will change the result, though it should still favor the smaller spheres.
