Exploding ammo

[mikey fingers]

Exploding pellets great or just a gimmick ? Anyone ever see a 45 or 50 cal exploding slug or pellet?or even a 30 35 caliber?

If I'm being extremely generous, they seem to be a novelty at best. And at the worst end of the spectrum, moronic.

Whats worse is idiots posting videos shooting animals with them.

If this brings joy to anyone it's pretty messed up.

I know a .22 Zan hitting a red squirrel "sounds" like an exploding pellet. Way louder than the gun.

i was thinking of the same basis when i shot a rabbit with a 32g H&N what a pop.

They look like fun to use but other then that no real effect on the target I would think.

Sounds like a good way to draw bad attention.

If you want something that goes "pop" light a firecracker. If you want something that goes "boom" shoot a centerfire.

The fact that a pellet rifle dosent "pop" is why most people shoot them.

Someone's way of making a quick fortune. I would waste money on them.

was just going to post this.

These are great and a good fun with kids. Take them out to some longer ranges and you will instantly know when you make a solid hit.

picked some of those up at an odd lot discount store Wednesday for a buck. Think I will save them for the 4th of July, will blend right in and not expose me to the scrutiny of neighbors.
