Anyone try shooting 000 buckshot out of their 9,3X74R? Load up 6 000 shot and shoot like a 12 gauge. Perhaps a modified 9,3x62? Also could do 3 or 4 00 in a straight 223 case. Semi auto 00 buckshot machine in a AR 15 rifle, .33” diameter. Use 35 legend mags.

i'm sorry but I can make any sense out of your post. Punctuation and grammar matter. What are you trying to say? Are you making a statement or asking a question?

Now I kind of want to try this in the spring.


Not sure how many I could keep in the neck of a 74R.

I’m thinking something like Rrail Boss as a place to start.


It would be almost like a Gallery Load for double rifles.

Somewhere I saw (in a book) this done with a 45-70, if I remember correctly, they said functional range was quite short.

Nothing new with trying this.

Have at it. It is entertaining and a good way to use up some time.

I did.

But in the end you well find that various shotguns do the job better.

Maybe put some powder, then some Dacron and stuff full of 000. Get 6 balls in there with one crimped at the mouth. Shoot an ounce of shot hopefully about 1600 FPS to put some hurt on a pig or an intruder without over penetration. With such a narrow case, would you have to limit the shot to the neck?

I am asking if it has been done before. Seeing the possibility of using standard shot used in a rifle cartridge for a shotgun load out of straight-ish cases.

The 00-223 would be so bad ass. Might have to make some dummy rounds out of 35 Legend cases. 3, 00 shot per round would be a fascinating CQB round. 4 rounds would equal a 12 gauge round but in an AR15 with a barrel swap. A 20 round mag would equal 5, 12 gauge rounds but with more accurate placement.

Have at it.

I think you well be disappointed in the results

Nothing stopping you from doing it.

I read where some one did it out of a 458 Lott. Just a single ball. My old Lott die had the ghost neck. I never did try it.
