Going to try something as a test to knock those carpenter bees out the sky without too much surrounding damage.
Will make up some 20 gage mini shells loaded with #12 shot and a mild load of powder. Have a sack of 12 shot and plenty of shotgun primers so maybe a fun little project.
Spring has sprung. Get out and shoot your Henry

As long as it’s for scientific reasons it should be okay. Just don’t do it for fun.

Those carpenter bees deserve it. They are tough on my wood siding. I did knock one out of the air with a fly swatter a few days ago. He didn't last long after that.

Hey forty, back when primers were relatively cheap, I'd load 38 spl brass.
I forget the powder amount be near nothing, then a thin piece cardboard, then oatmeal and another thin piece of cardboard.
Quite fun.
Dave, we use some badminton rackets, the seven yo grandson is quite good at it I might say.
