Re: WHO uses BUCKSHOT??
13/12/07 08:05 AM

Back in May of 1958, a few years before I was born, I and my brother were handloading for the upcoming whitetail deer and Cape Buffalo season which opens in New Jersey in June, during the dead of winter. My brother was a heavy bullet man, and he favored Number 8 birdshot for deer and #9's for buffalo.

I was stuck between a rock and a hard place, as he used up all the heavy shot so I went with about a half a bag of Number 4's. I wanted to make sure I didn't overkill the deer and buff, so I seated a primer, chambered the otherwise empty case in my H&R topper, and then poured Bullseye in thru the muzzle till I could reach it with the point of a British No.4 Enfield spike bayonet. Then I filled the barrel the rest of the way with the #4's, except for a little space at the muzzle. I filled that in with JB Weld so the shot wouldn't run out.

I took twelve deer and 5 Cape buff that year, getting most of the buff in a friend's garden on a control hunt in Cherry Hill though two I got down in the Pine Barrens just west of Atlantic City. The deer I got in East Orange, Salem, Moorestown, Cape May and one I took there in the Pine Barrens while gutting one of my Cape Buff.

My brother got skunked that year because just before season he took up with a girlfriend and spent all his time chasing her and all his money on cheap perfume and gas for his moped.

Next time I am not going to use the same load. It was loud and I had to buy a new H&R topper every time I shot a buff or a deer, and the JB Weld took way too long to set up so followup shots were out of the question. Towards the end of the season I got fed up with the reloading monkeyshines so I just bought 4 of them and tied them to the pack frame I used to carry the buff out. This gave me 7 fast shots.

This is the last time I am going to mention birdshot in this thread, and if anybody else does I'm gonna tell Nitro!!

PS: For those that might be confused, this post of mine is complete BS. What is not BS is that the thread is about buckshot. It is not about birdshot.
