jaz/500 Nitro,

Thanks for the correction.

BTW this may be a most impractical suggestion but the Indian government owned Indian Ordnance Factory makes 12 bore ball - I have used it on pigs and it works very well. No idea what the "ball" inside is like - at In Rs 50 or more a round when I checked last, it was too expensive to pull apart. That said, knowing the primitive tech used, it might well be a pre war design left behind by the British.

Some of the Indian members might want to correct me on this if I am wrong or to provide more information. Thanks,
