Question for reloaders

[oneshooter]

1. Yes, only mine were rats. When I bought this place the barn was overrun with Norways.

I would put out a handfull of dog food on the ground and sit on the tractor. Range was 10-15ft. Stayed real still and within 3 min. one to three of those big nasty bastads was eating. hammer was back and I took real carefull aim, and if they were real close together I could get 2 sometimes 3 per shot.

My formula is Standard primers, 6gr Unique, thick cardboard, shot to fill, top with a light card board wad, or a plug of styrofoam. If using cardboard then"crimp" by running it through a seating die.

Shot about 2ft dia.pattern at 15 or so feet. The rifleing tends to create a "donut effect" if the range is too long.

Hope this helps. YMMV
