Rumour (ahem) has it that a .50 calibre rifle cartridge, will lock up nice and central in 12g chambers...and that same rumour says that they will fire the projectile centrally down the barrel...
Why would you do this or risk it?? I have no idea.

I don't think anybody doubts that an SG at 200yds is going to be nasty.

They were ssg’ s. I thought it was only fair I gave it half a chance. If I was going to be completely bloody I would have opened my eyes.

Put on your safety helmet and goggles and read the wind.
Walk into the middle of a paddock with a few no7 or 8 shells (DONT Go HEAVIER!!!). Now - try and shoot vertical, allowing for the wind and see if you can bounce a returning pellet off ya hard hat - don’t worry, they are falling quite lightly and won’t puncture anything. I’ve had them hit my skin - you barely notice...but it’s bloody difficult to get them falling back near you. Takes about 7-10 secs depending on wind lol.
Now - before anyone says how effing stupid - I get that and all. But - I once went on an organised duck shoot and I was warned that I might be hit with falling pellets...this, initially scared the crap out of me so uncle Bob, proved to me the above - alleviating my fears...
