ouch!
« on: September 29, 2006, 10:39:45 AM »
shootin buddy lucked into about 25 lbs of sheet lead from an x-ray room or something.  stuff is about a 16th inch thick.   Well he used his 45 cal wad punch and cut a lot of 45 cal discs out of the sheet lead.   Well he loaded about 9 of those discs in each chamber of his cap and ball, remington repro.   

Not much of a group at 50 feet, but all them little lead "frisbes" spinning around slicing holes in stuff.  Yikes.

How would it be as a small game load? Practical at all?

I wouldn't think it very practical for small game.  It really didn't group in any reliable way. On a few shots, at 50 feet,  they spread out and were off a 100 yd rifle target.  On others the lead went through the target like a bunch of key holes.
