A pity, as I have about 5000 1 1/4 oz #4 lead loads hanging around the homestead, left overs my Dad never used after steel became the law.

I shot a fox one time, figure it was out 30-35 yards, with 1 1/4 of 4s, the thing laid down and died before the smoke cleared. It had one hole on each side of the pelt, through both lungs and the heart. Gun was an A5 with a 26” Hastings barrel and an IC choke. Patterned the gun with that load, later, and was surprised I got him with anything.


Best,

If those 5K ever get seriously in your way, Ted, I'll pay the shipping to get them out of your way. wink

They are "medicina muy mala" for crows.
