    Wonder how 7shot with wads would work over say 30gr 3F out of a Walker repro....

    I would think you would have the potential of lighting your quarry on fire at the distances that Buffy is shooting at.

    Shot number two or three in a row could get interesting if enough grain dust is kicked up.
    I am afraid we forget sometime that the basic and simple things brings us the most pleasure.

    Is immolation a legal method of take for barn rodents?
    Accuracy: because white space between bullet holes drives me insane.

    I wouldn't use any shot larger than #9. The smaller shot loses energy fast and there's less risk of tearing up the area around your target. My .38 shotshells actually hold just over 100 pellets of #9 shot.

    Get yourself some Fiocchi 9mm Rimfire (Flobert).

    And a single or double game rifle in said calibre.

    I am sure a native gun-bearer could be persuaded to take on the odorous task of carrying your prodigious weapon............................ until the shot presents itself.

    OK, so one in the plus column.

    Could ramp up the charge to 55gr. I wonder if one were to lace the grain with tannerite...... There is no kill like overkill.
    It's boring, and your lack of creativity knows no bounds.

    A gas check is just a cup-shaped copper disc used on the base of cast bullets. They usually come in quantities of 1,000 anywhere reloading supplies are sold. Sometimes I run across a bargain price on Ebay.

    Edit: banned on ebay now- - - -try Amazon:

    They're not banned on Ebay. I bought some .44 gas checks there about a month ago and they're being offered currently. Do a search on Ebay and you'll see plenty.
    Concealed carry is for protection, open carry is for attention.

    Another bonus to the gas check method is that it adds another 2 projectiles to the mix. Sure, they ain't gonna go straight or far, but at rat/ snake range from a rifled barrel, it don't matter
