Possibly the most common type of 12-gauge shotgun load, birdshot comes in a variety of sizes. A variety of 12-gauge ammo shot patterns allow hunters to target game from small to medium sizes. For birdshot, the larger the number, the smaller the pellet. You get more pellets in a single load. A #9 shot will hold more pellets. However, a #1 shot will hold less

I use to kill dear, squirrel, rabbit,coon, possum and just about anything and everything with my Remington 22 long rifle. Used mostly hollow points for hunting.

You can get bird shot in any gauge. The shot size used in the CCI .22 mag rounds is #12, if I remember right.

Believe it or not they taught kids in school how to handle weapons back in the day.
My Dad taught me when I was 7yrs old.

Good post Hippie. I never used bird shot in my 22 but I did use Rat Shot. Only used rat Shot to kill snakes,rats and small pest

Knew a guy who would take deer for the town residents who needed food in state protected reservoirs, he would camp out in an old cave and shot them with a ruger 22 cal pistol.
Town was well feed ever winter.

I had a 22 pistol I would carry for water moccasins when I was fishing.

Is that the one that you shot yourself with

 

[WeedHopper]

Hope not. That would hurt like hell.
I was shot with a 357 in a car jacking. Actually it was a truck. Still have the bullet in me.

Seen a video once where a cop shot himself in the leg in a classroom in front of kids trying to show them gun safety.

I do know a 22 will bounce right off an armadillo

The NRA taught me. My father, after spending 4 years in the infantry in WWII, hated guns and wouldn't have one in the house. I was crazy about guns; any kind, so I started buying The American Rifleman. I bought a few guns as a kid, but they were quickly disposed of as soon as the Old Man found 'em. Once I turned 18, he had no problem with them. Never been without enough to arm a small banana republic ever since.
