| i've shot a few different types of shotty ammo, using a small paper cup as a sabot, so far the best i've used is river rocks, really any small item can be used for a good shotgun ammo |

nails  , put them all in point out and see how many u can stick in a tree, shoot from a distance and wear goggles, they would prolly bounce back, wouldnt want to lose an eye  |

I'v tried a few different things as shotgun loads:
(1/2" diameter hemisheres - maybe 20-30) ice "cubes"; large spread, poor aerodynamics, low damage.
Rocks (5 thumb-sized); medium spread, fair aerodynamics, missed.
Flour in tissue paper (2-3 table spoons); abysmal aerodynamics, extreamly large spread, 'zero' damage.
Water (4 cups, saboted); very large spread, very poor aerodynamics, very low damage.
*note that "damage" is damage at range... I geuss I'm counting aerodynamics twice, but whatever.
*note that by "aerodynamics" I'm refering to energy loss during travel - if it's heavy and small, it's going to be a winner. A foam dart with a great Cd would lose to a steel cube by my definition.
It's 'odd' that the more projectiles, and the less massive they are, the larger the spread. |

| well, it makes sense, the heavier the projectile, the more force it will take them to change position. so it makes sense for them to have a tighter pattern. |

| I have a bucket full of tire weights. With a heave wire cutter I cut one up in several pieces ,about 8 or 10 pieces and shot this out of a one inch c annon . It worked really well. I am working on a barrell for shooting marbles ,seems they a re slightly larger than 5/8's inch . I welded a 5/8's bit to a lenght of allthread and run it through the barrel. It is still a littl tight so I put sandpaper on the allthread and I am working it down,I will report later on how it works. |

| Frozen peas? Goodness sakes, I don't even want to think about the aerodynamics of uneven 5mm balls with a density of .9 g/cm3... dang things will probably lose half their energy in like 20 feet! |

| I've found it best to "sandwich" a hand full of bb's in a 3/4 inch pipe. Good range, lot's of power. |

Sandwich? Does that mean put it between 2 sabots?
You really should explain you terms.
So, what type of spread do you get? |

| Sorry. By sandwich, I mean place the bb's between two pieces of paper towels. Since it's in a 3/4 inch barrel, it's pretty accurate although I havn't seen how far. I live in a very populated place. People around me are pretty pissy about things of that nature. |
