Anyone try elmers glue slugs?

[Hotrod Diesel]

why not take the 200-300 rounds of birdshot and just shoot them at your friends farm... instead of this experiment with glue?

Get a case of skeet you and your buddy will have a ball blowing threw the bird shot

Crazy talk... Elmer wants his homebrew slugs to be the next big thing...

 

[BigCountry14]

Well, he is a Steelers fan. Would explain a lot.

Bingo

A) Please don't do it.

B) If you do it, please record a video.

Something to consider is if the range wants a bunch of glue/wax/randombondingagent downrange. They have a hard enough time preventing accidental fires and cleaning up without diggin that out of their backstop. At a minimum, I'd think it polite to keep these reserved for the farm. People next to you would also probably be thankful if you reserved experimental ammo for somewhere away from them

 

[amoebicmagician]

this is a bad idea. This has been tried, along with many other ways to bond shot, and there is a reason we have not seen people doing it like crazy, but wax slugs have taken off.

PolyVinyl Acetate will melt at higher temps, leaving scorched crap in your barrel, this is a disaster waiting to happen.

Just use wax

IBTL... Seriously this is a bad idea. Why do you need to try it remotely? If you saw someone do it on YouTube, it must be totally safe, so why go through the hassle of the vice and string routine, man up and pull the trigger yourself. What could go wrong? Oh, and make sure someone is rolling the camera to document your success.

 

[Caeb75]

As others have said.....Don't do it.

Aside from that, best case is you will eventually end up with a bulged barrel and a bruised ego.

Worst case....well, stupid hurts.

If you are that bound and determined to get a nomination for a Darwin Award, by all means do it. Just don't do it an indoor range around other people.

oh....I second Ed's offer. I will throw another slug into the kitty...

 

[Selene]

This is the kind of redneck bull$#!t that gives safe responsible gun owners a bad rap. You are honestly that concerned over $50 worth of ammo that you are willing to destroy a $300 gun, or worse hurt yourself or someone else.

 

[ericoak]

I'd just stick a chunk of C4 in there instead.

 

[shaddydan]

Despite rational advice from the community, the OP seems determined to harm himself. Hopefully no one else will be hurt.

 

[Mr H]

No I just don't like birdshot, and don't have a need for it. I just saw videos on them and it seemed everyone had good results. Figured I could get my moneys worth out of it.

Just trade the birdshot for buckshot or slugs and be done with it

 

[Mr H]

A) Please don't do it.

B) If you do it, have someone hold your beer, and please record a video.

 

[Skins_Brew]

Pretty dangerous IMHO.

I would just stick with pulling the wad out, soaking it in gasoline, and reinserting it into the shell. I call it "The Dragon Bite"

 

[traveller]

I dont think it is a particularly novel way of destroying a shotgun.

Neva be dun befo.

 

[STeveZ]

I hate to pile on but when you shoot a long gun you are triggering a controlled explosion within 6" of your face and both of your hands. Given the potential downside to an accident I would discourage you from using any ammunition not designed and tested for your gun, including "experimental" ammunition deemed safe by a guy on the internet.

Interestingly enough, shotguns are fairly forgiving in terms of sending random crap down the barrel...especially something like a 590, 870, or benelli supernova. The internet is full of people shooting everything from machined "penetrating" rounds, to CO2 cartridges, to silly-putty, to dimes and other things. Shotguns are fairly low pressure, overbuilt things with loose tolerances. I'm not so much worried about the gun blowing up as I think it's a waste of time and energy, and may make a mess at the facility where he's shooting. Here's some goodies....

 

[traveller]

Just because there are other idiots doesn't mean you have to be an idiot too.

 

[shaddydan]

Well, if they do it on the internet, it must be fine.

I think the Skittles shells would be a most delicious way to die. Taste the rainbow, one last time.
