Andy, you find some of the coolest smilies.

BTW, I saw something this morning I didn't even know existed. I checked two WalMarts on the way to work this morning and saw some .22LR shot shells. They were #12 shot with 165 pellets I think. How small do those pellets have to be to get 165 of them in that little thing? I have a 5-stand match this weekend and thought it might be fun to try, but wondered if those little things would even break a clay or just bounce off. I didn't buy any.

I've shot a bunch of them. They won't cycle a semi-auto, and in fact, I had one go off out of battery, so they're pretty much limited to use in revolvers, bolt-action, and single-shot rifles. They don't have much power. They work pretty well on Copperheads, but they won't break a glass bottle or penetrate a can even at point blank range (maybe I coke can, haven't tried that, but not a soup can).
