scattergunner 12 Posted January 18, 2010 Report Share Posted January 18, 2010 anyone ever try this? i am new to reloading and thought this would be a viable hd/animal control round. i was thinking seeds and small birdshot combined. maybe it would be more practical just to make a pepper seed paste and coat some airsoft pellets or tiny shot with it?? the less lethal the better for my needs. what do you guys think?

Eric Pate 478 Posted January 18, 2010 Report Share Posted January 18, 2010 Load them with rocksalt imo +1 I would think that the problem with seeds would be that they are so light they wouldn't carry much inertia. IMHO. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Bvamp 604 Posted January 18, 2010 Report Share Posted January 18, 2010 yeh, I have done this. you need to encapsulate it somehow, or else if you touch it off and its ground up fine enough, you will ignite the dust cloud with the muzzle blast and essentially have a small tear gas cannister go off in your face.

shaneman153a 39 Posted January 18, 2010 Report Share Posted January 18, 2010 Sounds like a fun idea, but I would never use handloads for home defense personally (Liability). Also, LTL leaves the guy alive to sue you. JMO Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Bvamp 604 Posted January 18, 2010 Report Share Posted January 18, 2010 LTL isnt allowed in quite a few places, as well. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Took the words right out of my mouth. scatter: If you want weaponized capsaicin, just use pepper spray IMO. Although speaking from my experience of being sprayed, it might be more humane to just shoot to kill. Edited January 18, 2010 by JanusthePhoenix Quote Link to post Share on other sites
