Rimfireboy! 1,463 Posted July 24, 2019 Report Share Posted July 24, 2019 An old pal gave me some tin cartridges some years ago. I thought they might be ok for using to shoot some squirrels. I was wrong, they wouldn’t bring the tough little bu55ers down. I hit one twice while it was running, somersaulted it both times and it carried on running. I decided to try them on an old dog food tin and the pellets barely dented it. No wonder they didn’t stop the squirrels. Total crap they were. Quote Link to post

Sausagedog 7,381 Posted July 24, 2019 Author Report Share Posted July 24, 2019 These here hatistani jobs....a local feller has one in wood, it's a super magnum. Will it cycle ordinary shells? It may be handy for Charlie come the day I'm to old for a rifle! Quote Link to post

A friend of mine has a Hatstand pump but it jams too much and spoils his fun, so he says he’s upgrading. 1 Quote Link to post
Stavross 17,120 Posted July 24, 2019 Report Share Posted July 24, 2019 My hatistani will cycle 36g and above all day long, so if you want to wreck what you shoot it’s just the job, it will jam on 32g every 10 shots or so and anything under that forget it Quote Link to post
