Hey folks, I was only kidding about the dimes for home defence, I cant imagine anyone thought I was serious. Really

I do load stuff like this but only to shoot from an special barrel and then only at pumpkins and other fun targets on the range, thats all. Heres a shot at the range using some hand loads on a tgt for ranging/pattern testing.

I handload some very nice 2 3/4 inch reduced charge/recoil cartridges in 00 buck and #4 buck respectively. I would never be foolish enough to admit openly that they are to be used for such purposes for legal reasons so I call them my "close range, anti-varmit shot gun shells"

the fact that I loaded them specifically with enough power to penetrate 6-8 inches into humans but not through the hardwood walls in my house is pure coincidence.
