Anybody doing any exotic shells like Flechetts or carpet tacks? Also, how about mini shells?

Not I. I do not reload shot shells at all. If you would like, I would REALLY value a pictorial on reloading shot shells. I have been looking at setting up to load 410's. At one time you supposibly get dies that fit in a regular reloading press to load 410's. I have heard of it, but have never seen them nor can I find any info on them on the net. -
"exotic" loads would be fun, but ANY use other than the total fall of civilization would be a no-no. Shooting an intruder with 00 buck is self preservation. Same situation with special loads labels you as a premeditated killer.Comment

Knew a guy who did the same thing. Why dimes? A slug is cheaper.Originally posted by Big_Saw View PostComment

He saw it on a movie and wanted to try it....it worked....until his Mossy's barrel split from the end to about 4" toward the breech.....It was already sawed-off 1/2" over legal, so he had to replace the barrel.....dumb."I Have Sworn Upon the Altar of God eternal hostility against every form of tyranny over the mind of man." -Thomas Jefferson

I can't remember if I posted this on here before. I know someone that cuts piano or guitar string in 17 inch lengths. Puts a split shot sinker on each end-squeeze on with plyers, and coils up inside a shotgun wad once its in the shell. Crimps the end and goes with it. You can shoot it and it comes open in mostly a straight line and whirles through the air like the "mower" balls on chains that was used in the civil war. Now the line dosn't just go horizontal, sometimes it goes at a crooked angle. This can cut brush like a mower.
Watch what you shoot with it. He was shooting a tall vertical pole that holds a sign at a intersection and it didn't cut all the way through. It sent a splitshot back through his windshield. The coolest things to shoot with this is a large flock of starlings, cattails and tree branches with alot of leaves on them.Comment

In a SHTF situation the last thing you need is a ruined gun, misfires or loading problems ..... could be kissing your arse goodbye ....
For reloading .410s ..... check into using rifle cases (.400+ ect size calibers) ...... hundreds of reloads before the casings crap out .... check out Matt Stairs website on this ..... he's the guru
Plain out stupid using cut shells or bs slug materials like dimes ..... buy plenty of factory slugs, especially the sabots ...... get a slug mold and add smelting to your reloading capabilities .....
Fletchettes were something the military paid for the r&d ...... wasn't worth the hassle of the Geneva Convention Violation complaints ....... they turn up alot in IEDs along with ball bearings, roofing nails and glass crumbleComment
