Handgun shot shells / compensator
« on: June 14, 2016, 04:59:50 PM »
Hey, so i bought some .45 lc cci shot shells for my .460 incase i run into a rattler.  Its #9 shot, real tiny stuff.  But now im wondering if itll work with the compensator, or go flying out the sides.  Probably a stupid question.

I don't know either, but a shot into a cardboard box or old book from a few inches should answer it.
As long as we have the habitat, we can argue forever about who gets to kill what and when.  No habitat = no game.

In archery we have something like the way of the superior man. When the archer misses the center of the target, he turns round and seeks for the cause of his failure in himself.

I think a book might give some serious ricochet!  But a cardboard box sounds like a good idea.  Maybe ill put on some safety glasses and give it a whirl.  I try not to shoot much at home, like to keep it kind of a quiet animal sanctuary here.  I do my target shooting at my parents house, i dont mind scaring their deer  :chuckle:

This is off midway's site. It's for CCI .45 shot shells.
The "Do not use..." part is in bold on the site.

CCI is known in the shooting sports industry for producing reliable ammunition that delivers exceptional performance shot after shot. CCI shotshell ammunition is no exception. These loads are designed as a potent round for close range pest control and work well for dispatching nuisance vermin. These loads work great as rat shot, snake shot and close range plinking. These rounds work great in revolvers, but they may not function properly in rifle. Do not use these or any other shot cartridge in handguns having ported recoil compensators. This ammunition is new production and non-corrosive.

You see it here with some of the less intelligent and stable types.
