Bird shot

It won't hurt a bbl to have it shot(old crimped) in a pistol or rifle...but it will leave some leading in the bore....and it may not eject out of some well as it may impinge on the bore itself...The new stuff works pretty well. I've been shooting grackles etc at a couple of metal bird feeders with a Smith 63(looking for a K-22). The darn good birdies won't even fly away when I blast the grackles and black birds. They flutter and then go get something to eat. A friend gave me a whole case(5000 rds) of the crimped 22 shot cartridges and they shoot fine. Only have about 800 left and nothing is hurt at all...except the grackles and blackbirds!!
