When it really happens: SHTF...

[SNAFU22]

To me it sounds like another DC shooter scenario . Now that you know what I can do, pay the ransom or I keep doing it. I think Daesh or Al qaeda would have gone for more casualties. I don't see someone doing this over an issue with their cable bill. But you never know. Looking forward to putting 2020 in the shitcan and a better 2021 for all.

I don't see much happening until the 6th of January, then all bets are off.

Fort Sumter comes to mind as an historical example of an "all bets are off" event.

Today, I decided to try out my new indoor loads.
Wonderful.
They print, at 10 metres, 6 inches lower than my wad cutters at 15 metres.
After a first rounf for trial, I found the right aiming point and had great fun.
Wife and kids soon joined me and we shot a lot.
Very accurate stuff. I’m impressed!
We set up tha “range in the back kitchen shooting into the wintergarten.
Instead of loading with Large Rifle Magnum, I followed the suggestion of my friends from the gun shop and used
Large Pistol. Standard.
Work great!

I used to do the same during long snowy winters in our east coast. I had a cardboard box full of cardboard sheets and used CB caps. I ended up with a trail of powder across the floor after a bit so I had to sweep it up and burn it outside. Now you have a competitive family hobby...

We shoot the Speer Plastic caps in .38spl and 'Almost' have it figured out when to stop before the smoke alarms go off. Just hard to stop when the competition heats up and we get to laughing so hard.
When warmer I set it up in the backyard. Back in September my 5 year old Grandson tired of the BB and Pellet guns quickly. But loved shooting these out of his Grandma's 5 shot Taurus. He said being louder meant it had more power.

If your wondering I can't pull the batteries, ours are hard wired, battery back up if power is out.

how did I never know such things existed? is it shooting plastic pellets? Ovidio, doesn't look like you need much of a backstop? Please post many details, DIY, and how to for the ignorant.

I’ll post a few pics.
I found them in my gun shop and then saw some articles on gun magazines, so I asked and received super positive info.
I was a tad scheptical, but must admit it is way betterthan I expected.
The only problem it has is that 50% of the primers stick out after shooting, so the cylinder does not turn easily. But I’ll figure out something.
Looking at the great accuracy, I’ll buy also the 9mm version.

what are they even called? My only hesitation might be diminishing my supply of primers.

You get the same thing when making blanks, it is better if the flash holes are drilled to a larger size.

Which is normal for what you're doing. There's no rearward pressures on the cartridge so that's what happens.
