Mustard Seed? Buckshot? 38 special
Long ago my Dad had me shoot up some old ammo. One of the boxes was 22 rimfire filled with mustard seed. He said it was for shooting mice inside a barn so you wouldn't put holes in the structure.
They put holes in the paper target, but would barely put a hole in a clay pigeon at 5 feet.
I wish I had kept at least one for my cartridge collection.
Well now I just bought some speer capsules for 38, got me to wondering about the mustard seeds.
Does anyone see a problem with trying out a shotshell filled with the seeds? I already have a handful made up with number 4 and number 8 shot scrounged from some old paper hulled shotshells.
Also, what size buckshot would work in place of a gas check or wad atop shot if not using the speer capsules? Coat the buck with lee Alox, wad or check over the powder is my idea?
