It's fun to use a bolo round to shoot off tree limbs.

i hope you havent had that tracer too long, they do have an expiration date. i reload my own shells, and one of my favorites are my copper tube jacketed slugs. if made properly (still working on hardening/ softening the copper) it will peel away, making a sepperate viscous wound tract. i make one, that is a 1 1/2 oz sever cavity hollow point. when i get a camera and the materials to make my ballistic gel targets ill post them

@Ki113r210 Oh wow I didnt know they expire? That gives me a good reason to go shoot them. I got them a year ago from a friend and I dont know how long he had them?

I have a remington 870 with a standard 18 inch smoothbore barrel. Could you possibly give me a specific list of what types of rounds I can fire from that. All these different Ammo types are a bit confusing.

@Otaku155 Easy answer...a smooth bore 12 gauge can shoot anything 12 gauge regardless of the projectile. Some projectiles may not perform well like sabots since they are designed for rifled shotgun barrels but you can still shoot them if you want to. Its the choked barrels that you have to be careful off because they are smaller at the muzzle. Also you have to read the chambering. You gun probably can only take up to 3 inch shells? It will say on the barrel. Some go up to 3 1/2 shells?

hate recoil ,

I choose birdshot, here's why.

A.) It can be stockpiled by the masses. I reccommend federal bulk (same price as winchester universal, yet cycles in semi auto's reliably)

B.) Very low recoil, making for a quicker follow up shot.

C.) Limited penetrating power (less chance of it going through a wall)

D.) 20 dollars (plus tax) for 100 at your local walmart, which I know the firearm community loves.

Other rounds have their place (and i store them accordingly), but 8 shot is underrated.

@mixflip yeah, it is chemicals after all. it may vary for yours, but iv seen boxes of them in the local shop, they got a big orange sticker on them saying they expire in such and such month and year. its not like its a short expiration date. i think its generally a couple years, and they shoot fine they just wont light up correctly or as much as far as i know.
