My $100 Garden Gun

Yildiz tk36 410 and my 45 colt shotshells.

it would be really interesting to see a shot pattern for your 45 loads

I'll try and put some pellets on cardboard for you. What distance would you like to see? Here's a little video.

I'd say under 25 yards or so.

I'd say under 25 yards or so.

if you can get a solid pattern at 25 yds, I'd consider that to be exceptional

This is a 25 yard pattern.

nice .... very nice indeed ... thanks for taking the time and making the effort to shoot that pattern

No problem at all. I'm limited to about 60 yards here at home, so I enjoy developing loads that I can use without running out to the club to shoot.

Just a little food for thought.

Now if Henry made a Mares leg version like the Mossberg Shokwave I would be all over it. I guess for a $200 stamp one could just make their own.

3.5 grains of Hodgdon Titewad. I cut my over powder wads from a milk jug with a hole punch just slightly larger than the case and press firmly down on the powder. I fill the case almost to the rim with #9 shot and seal with a disk of styrofoam cut from a take-out container. I seal that with a dab of clear silicone.

If you look back at the first picture you can see a tear at the top of the cardboard where the plastic over powder wad hit.

Thanks for the info.
I went back and looked, yep.
Now to find a cheap single shot.

You're welcome. It's a useful tool for close range pesting. I killed my first rattlesnake with it last week. I generally leave snakes alone, but this one was inside the fence where we let out 2 little spoiled dogs run.

Cheap, but ....ugly

Kind of looks like a Midland arms or a Hatfield.
