Cut shells - Poor mans shotgun slug

[CexMashean]

Seriously? Shut the fuck up.

No.

If ammunition costs are a problem, you're shooting the wrong gun, or working the wrong job.

You tell their poor asses! You wouldn't happen to drive a train for a living, would you?

remember "the russian" who put an arrow in his shotgun?

[CJ]

No, it's making a particular cut around the shell to turn the end of the shell into the projectile. Basically housing all of the load in a plastic container until it makes contact with something. Then you have a furious expansion of pellets that go wherever they feel like while the casing turns inside out.

you cut just under or at the wad, so the wad seals against the charge and keeps the projectile together.

Ammo costs are always an issue unless you barely shoot. I bet you're one of those kind of guys that never shoots yet truly believes that he's proficient with his gun or guns.

If you want to be good, you have to train. If you want to train, sometimes you have to make concessions.

In the case of the cut shell trick, it's a great way to improvise in the field if necessary, or in less than ideal circumstances.

That's it. I'm selling all my guns except my 12 gauges and buying 20,000 shells and getting to cuttin'.

I just tried this today with my coach gun, it worked pretty damn well. My dad swore up and down I was going to blow up my gun and kept telling me I shouldn't try things I see on the internet. He was a bit surprised it worked.
