How to shoot rice out of a shotgun

Today I will be showing you how to replace the lead shot in your shotgun shell with dry rice.

Now for the reasons why you should NOT do this.
Shooting dry rice may damage your gun.
These modified shells are still extremely dangerous.
Do not point or shoot at any living animal.
These modified shells should be treated as normal shells.
It is very hard to tell the difference between un-modified and modified shells.
USE COMMON SENSE

This is to be used as a green alternative to shooting lead. For target practice only!

Step 1 Materials

You will need an exacto knife(or other razor sharp, precise cutting tool)
A small flat-head screwdriver(to pry open the top of the shell)
A shotgun shell
Dry rice

Ahem... YOU DON'T HUNT DEER WITH A SHOTGUN. (At least if you want to actually bag a deer, you don't.) You hunt deer with a RIFLE. And no rice. I am a little intrigued, however, about dusting some rats and mice with rice-shot...

[brandon borick]

what about a slugter hu hu or buck shot notice the name or cut slugs you can and people do

[peteyandthechiefs]

Shotgun season in Iowa is huge. Do you know what a slug is? We use shotguns because our state has a lower population, but a fairly dense infastructure (lots of farms, out buildings etc.) Shotguns don't have the range of a rifle and are way safer. But I suppose you knew that too ...

[brandon borick]

i had a 20 ga bolt action slug gun had rifle sights and all

[reasoning]

Ahem yourself, many areas are posted shotgun only for deer hunting. This is why they make 12 gauge slugs. The population density of these areas prohibit any long range firearm from safely being used.

DON'T Shoot at people with these cause...

Why would you be dumb enough to shoot at people!
GUNS are Not Toys!
Treat them with Respect.
Always treat a gun as if it is loaded, dont point guns at people.
and dont be stupid.

interesting idea though.
ever head of coinshot?

 shot gun bbs aren't lead any more there some other metal

[kramer5150]

There are lead shots still availible for purchase where I live, but you are correct in that most shells use steel shot. They both have their advantages. Steel shot has a more precise shot, but with that, its a real hit and miss kind of shot. Lead tends to spread out more. If you intend to eat what you shoot, please please please use steel shot.

Lee offers a load all shotshell reloader for under $50 .......I reload pistol ,rifle , and have done shotgun shells all started with Lee ......www.cabelas.com/p-0003150.shtml   ......if you shoot a lot this wont save you any money but for the same $$$ you can shoot more ....If you do decide to reload and use lead wash your hands or wear gloves ....my lead level went to 46.3 after a year reloading for a few local ranges .....

HOW DUMB ARE YOU!!!? YOU DONT CUT OPEN A LIVE ROUND!!!

[Notbob]

Cutting open a round is risky, yes. However, the risks are severely diminished assuming that that you have the proper knowledge in your head. For example, don't cut into the charge. Im sure the author knows that it is risky to open a live shell(which is why he states not to do so at the beginning), but so would anybody else who has a gun. To get someones attention, caps is not necessary, and neither is calling them dumb.

corn kernerls for making pop corn are much better than rice

[killerjackalope]

Hey you did it then, nice 'ible, the thing I always wanted to load a shotgun with is legomen's heads though, the hilarity that would ensue, I would shoot it straight up in the middle of town just to see people be showered with the lego heads... err I mean cool 'ible I eat lead shot...

[sharlston]

you cant eat lead shot

[killerjackalope]

Not any more...

[Murphman]

your my hero.

[killerjackalope]

Why the lego bit or the eating lead shot bit...

[Murphman]

D. All of the above.

[killerjackalope]

lol Impromptu lead shot eating contest...

[Murphman]

Haha, your on!

[killerjackalope]

Gobble gobble, cough... Ugh wins and walks away very slowly...

[temp]

wouldn't the lego heads go "poof" as soon as the charge went off?

[backyardmunitionist]

 no because the wadding would protect them.

[ledzep567]

well, youd best be using this gun if you wanted the lego heads to be noticed haha.

[Notbob]

Try this.http://www.warbirdphotographs.com/ATC/ATC-GermanRailGun-1.jpg

[killerjackalope]

Yeah that looks about right, maybe I'll get a bigger one... Hmm have you ever got and fired elephant rounds, if your gun is capable of it, they are unholy, 12 gauge, solid round of doom, the only problem is that they kick like a horse because they're so heavy, you can shoot a telegraph pole in half, i can testify to that...

[0.775volts]

are you talking about an elephant gun? that's not a shotgun load, it's bigger. like the 585 hyati and other specialty cartridges. rice may or may not damage your shotgun, i'm not sure. I'd try it on 1985 walmart special side by side, but nothing I actually hunted with.

[killerjackalope]

Something between elephant gun and shotgun, a mutant...

[ledzep567]

slugs? if so, then yes

[killerjackalope]

Umm not standard slugs, he got them in a very odd gun shop, they were £3 a piece for the rounds, it was an odd gun aswell though, a winchester action shotgun, which prompted a police helicopter to land to take a look see, they just handn't sen one similar to it before, it was probably crafted by some guy in a barn...

[killerjackalope]

lol not twelve gauge, dammit, what was the bore, I can't remember, if your try it make sure your gun takes them...

[ledzep567]

well, from your description i think the bullet would be atleast 2 times the size of the barrel. but, im sure the elephant gun is illegal nowadays. the only round ive heard people using on elephants was 500 rigby.

[sharlston]

if you like this check out my verson on this search shotgun shell its the first one

[supersith22]

rather than cutting open the shell, shoot it and then buy a shotgun reloader and use rice instead of shot although it is definitely not recommended by me www.mec-reloaders.com

[Notbob]

By cutting open the round, you save all of the contents of the shell, meaning you don't have to reload it with more.

"This is to be used as a green alternative to shooting lead. "

[thematthatter]

fill it up with pepper corn next time and when you shoot birds they will already be seasoned!

[carpespasm]

That's not a bad idea actually....

[drummonkey92]

genius! combine it with a flame thrower and the bird could be cooked and seasoned to perfection before it hit the floor!

[Notbob]

Napalm rounds maybe?
