So I bought a bunch of 40-82 ammo from a gun show a couple years ago. All of the ammo looks normal except for one. (I tried adding a photo but it says that the upload failed. I dont know why?) Anyways, the cartridge looks like a blank. it doesn't have any bullet in it. Just a piece of paper, like one resembling a shot card on an old 12 gauge brass shell. I asked the guy if it was a blank and he said it wasn't. Here's where I get iffy. He said its loaded with small shot (Like a shotgun). When he told me, I said that it seemed odd. In shotguns you can shoot slugs and shot out of a smooth bore but not out a rifled barrel. You can but it might mess up the rifling. He assured me that people used those to kill snakes if need be. has anyone ever heard of anything like this?
Also all the ammo, including the one "shot cartridge" mentioned above is W.R.A.CO stamped except for a Soft point thats Remington.
P.S If anyone could just tell me why Im having a hard time getting pictures on here, it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
