Larsen E. Pettifogger, SASS #32933 Posted July 14, 2012 Posted July 14, 2012 I've been getting lazy and have decided to shoot smokeless powder for a while. Been loading BP so long I have forgotten a bit about loading the smokeless stuff. Went to change the powder and shot bushings in my shotgun press and THOUGHT the shot shutoff was on. It wasn't and a few pounds of shot hit the counter top and floor before I could blink. Got the shot reservoir shut off, but it is unbelievable where number 8 shot can go and how hard it is to clean up. Had to move everything that was sitting on the floor out of the gun room. Even with my Hoover Supersucker, the darn BB's keep shooting around the room. Took several hours to get everything cleaned up. I hope the rest of my temporary change to smokeless goes better.
Mad Dog Jack, SASS #77862 Posted July 14, 2012 Posted July 14, 2012 Who are you and what have you done with the Larsen E. Pettifogger I know? Smokeless? Why.....why...I'm.....

I'm thinking about going to the Chorro Valley shoot. I see you are on the Who's Coming list. Perhaps some counseling or an intervention are in order.
Sergeant Smokepole #29248L Posted July 15, 2012 Posted July 15, 2012 I think that at one time or another, most reloaders have done this...
Larsen E. Pettifogger, SASS #32933 Posted July 15, 2012 Author Posted July 15, 2012 Yep, put it in the box with my stealth bullets.

Guest Posted July 15, 2012 Posted July 15, 2012 When I started to reload in 1997 I asked my wife "pretty please" let me reload in her sewing room because it is cooler inside. She is still finding #8 shot in there and I am not allowed in that room for the rest of my life! Castalia
slate mike sass#29204 Posted July 15, 2012 Posted July 15, 2012 That'll teach ya. The Darkside is powerful once it gets in your blood. And dumpin' shot don't even need a reason. If it hasn't happened to ya yet, it WILL!
Mad Dog Jack, SASS #77862 Posted July 15, 2012 Posted July 15, 2012 I have never spilled a single shot....ever! It always seems to be a bunch going everywhere.

Virgil Ray Hality, SASS# 37355 Posted July 15, 2012 Posted July 15, 2012 The best way to turn lead into gold is to shoot is to shoot some at a non-reactive target.
Lone Spur Jake SASS #7728 Posted July 15, 2012 Posted July 15, 2012 Mad Dog, if you think that's weird, you should have seen him trying to remember how to shoot a Winchester 97 yesterday. He was also shooting adjustable sight revolvers! But, he was having fun and laughing the whole time.
No Buk Chuck SASS # 24540 Posted July 15, 2012 Posted July 15, 2012 What really makes your woo's so funny is I've chased them peeskee critters around with the shop vac. Thanks for the laugh!!! Nbc
