a couple years back me and my friend started loading various objects into shotgun shells . weve loaded ball bearings, glass marbles, steel bb's, square chain from a dog collar, home made bolo rnds, nails, tacks, silly putty, air rifle pellets, every fishing sinker you can think of, fish hooks, weighted fish hooks, once fired pistol bullets, pebbles, solid brass bars, rebar, flechettes, wire, copper rectangles, copper shot, chopped up wheel wheights, sqaure buckshot, nuts, bolts, monopoly pieces, junk jewelry, modeling clay, screws, wood, a crossbow arrow, tips from playing darts, razor blades, dimes, necklace chain, dog tag chain, lamp chain, rubber ball, plastic ball, metal figurines, dungeons and dragons pieces, dice, confetti.

 

im sure theres a bunch of other crap im forgetting. if it fits in the wad cup and you use a cylinder bore (no choke) you can shoot pretty much anything, some things are just more effective than others.

Improperly loaded shells can damage your shotgun in several ways. Mismatched projectiles or excessive weight can create excess pressure, leading to barrel bulges, cracks, or even catastrophic failure. Objects not designed as shotgun ammunition can have unpredictable flight paths, making them inaccurate and dangerous.
