(I posted this on the expert side by mistake.[:I])

that's what the mrs said when i told her i was gonna use some 22lr shotshells on that stray dog that just dug up one of my gardens!
so what else do you use these things for?
i have some CCI that cost 7 bucks for 20 and i don't kill snakes and i don't kill birds just for "sport".
so what else do you use 'em for?

    I woouldn't use the shotshells, either. CCI stingers work much better on garden digging up dogs.

    Gasdriven airsoft/hardball pistol using 6mm plastic 0.2gram BB's.

    That works - and is fun too.


    Especially the Glock18C (selectfire semiauto/fullauto).

    Scared some cats that had their mind set on poopin' all over the back porch. I think in one burst, I hit it with 8-10 BB's... it was fun to see, as it lurked around, that whenever it came to my backyard... it more or less ran past and prowled elsewhere.

    neighbor had a pit bull that was mean, wanted to get rid of it. Called animal controll, wanted $300 to take. I went over 3 38 in the heaad and was still grrowling. Jaw hanging off and everything. shot one more and that was it, but 4 times to kill it! All 4 in the head from about 10 ft.

    To kill something with 22 shot you just about have to shove the gun up its butt and then pull the trigger. Company where I worked had a very big bird problem under a side storage building. The ceiling was about 20 feet high and unless you were standing under them they would laugh, poop and fly away for a few minutes.

    Your not going to wound or even do serious damage with .22 shot shells unless you are under 15 feet or so,at about 30 feet he will not even feel it ,he will just run from the noise,I grew up on an airport,we used to shoot birds in the hangers with .22 shot,would not even knock of feathers over 20-25 feet shooting an old pump .22 rifle

    I know of a guy who got frustrated and went to pepper one of his own horses with birdshot at long range.

    He forgot he'd loaded with buckshot and killed it.

    My Dad was a small town cop and just on the edge of town there was a spot where alot of deer got hit by cars.He would go out and finish them off,but it got so bad trying to kill them with his 38 spl. that he started hauling around a 22 rifle in the trunk,worked better.

    I knew the shot shell wouldn't kill the dog, but my wife didn't.[;)]

    If I hadn't successfully taken care of my Phoebe problem; discouraged them from building their nests on our porches, I'd offer to take them off your hands! [:D]

    If you can't feel the music; it's only pink noise!

    If you want to run the dog off, use the .22 shotshells.
    My neighbor's dog was running around and causing problems at my house.
    I told him I wanted to shoot the dog in the butt with .22 shotshells.
    He didn't like it.
    I told him, I will let you shoot me in the butt with .22 shotshells, and show you what it is like.
    I stood 60 feet away. I had my back to my pal.
    I had on lightweight clothing.
    Gregg fired.
    I felt like I was back in 8th grade, and a football coach had just smacked me in the * with the board!
    Hot damn that stung!
    What was interesting, the shot gripped the rifling.
    By the time the #12 shot hit me, it had spread out in about a 4 foot circle.
    I was hit on the arms, neck, and right across the butt.
    By God, I was jumping up and down, and howling!
    The shot did not penetrate my skin
    Had I been a dog, I would have not come back to that yard!

    My uncle had a nice solution for that.
    He'd often reload some 357 shells and plug the end with canner's wax. Not lethal but man you don't wanna get smacked by it!
