Hi,
Does someone have or know where to find loading data for 12 gauge flechette round.
What's about the dispersion and effective range?
Thank's a lot !

Are you going to use this for defense ? Survival in court is poor when you have special rounds. Originally they were developed for the military to penetrate body armour .When they penetrate they bend and are deflected inside the body. I've seen x-rays of someone hit with them, very interesting.

METE IS RIGHT. THATS WHY I KEEP 2 SPEED LOADERS WITH FACTORY LOADS WITH MY GUN. I HAVE SOME HOLLOW BASE WADCUTTERS LOADED BACKWARDS BUT I WOULD NEVER USE THEM FOR SELF PROTECTION.SPECIAL HANDLOADS ARE FUN BUT YOU REALLY DON'T WANT TO GO PRISON OVER SOME GOBLIN YOU HAD TO DEFEND YOURSELF FROM. JUST MY 2 CENTS...............

THE SECOND AMENDMENT PROTECTS US ALL..........

I also believe that fletchette rounds are illegal in Canada. You might want to check the Firearms Act about it.

Are you stupid?

Gatehouse is right, in fact, I think they have prohibitted status.

Look here http://www.hi-vel.com/Catalog__15/Specialized_Shotshell_Ammuniti/specialized_shotshell_ammuniti.html , there is something about loading it . . .

I find it interesting that everyone assumes that Mat intends to use these as self-defense.

I have wanted to fiddle around with these for a while, just because.

BTW, if anyone has fiddled with these, I would appreciate any insight. My understanding is that penetrate bulletproof jackets so cops don�t like the idea of them being available. I don�t see them any more dangerous to cops than slugs. Cause of death would just be a different.

Thanks
