I tried to find some on the net, but couldn't. If you come across a place that sells it, let me know
- even 0 would be fine.

Federal loads #1 buck in 16 ga. That should do the trick.
From a legal standpoint you might be better off with bird shot tho.


Not me, but a friend who lives out in Nokesville (close to the Prince William Golf Course). Used to
be country, but the townhouses are marching his way. Once they march across Vint Hill Road he won't
have much time left before he's surrounded. I came across an article suggesting that #4 buckshot
would be a decent short range load. But I can't find any on the net. I'd like to get him a box (five
rounds) of #4 or larger pellet size.

For some reason he seems to be getting antsy about living out on the farm with only his wife. He's
81. Shoots in the high 80's. Wants to shoot his age, but doesn't want to budge off the white tees to
do it.


So, your buddy is planning to welcome the newcomers with buckshot? How
neighborly.


And you talk about how much you've changed!

Hee, hee.
