I headed out East of town Saturday morning hoping to return with at least one of a handful of interesting guns that were going to be auctioned. A nice custom 10/22 by Clark with a fluted heavy barrel was my real goal but I was also interested in a heavy barreled 700 in .223 and a couple Model 12s. Unfortunately each gun went for more than I thought they were worth, a couple even going for way too much (an 1100 for nearly $800.00!).
But all was not lost. Thousands or rounds of various ammo went after the guns. After the centerfire stuff was gone most of the buyers lost interest and I ended up with 20 boxes of various shotgun shells for $4.00 apiece. So when I got home I turned my office into a sorting station…
About half the shells were hot 2 3/4″ 4s 5s and 6s. The only real choice for pheasants. The other half was a smattering of 2 3/4″ steel 2s and 3″ goose loads. I’ll certainly burn through those with no problem. But I also ended up with 4 individual 3″ lead #4 buck. Any idea what to do with them? Maybe I should toss one in my turkey vest for coyotes?
