Hey everyone!

I am curious to find out what size ammo you use?

Cheers Luke

I shoot everything from .177 BBs to 600+ grain lead sinkers. A few glass marbles and the occasional smooth stone.

 

[mckee]

I use 9.5mm or 12mm steel

 

[cole89]

10mm home made lead shot

 

[Berkshire bred]

depends on th size of the pouch but i think that for a powerful slingshot designed with hunting in mind a 12 or 14 mm steel ball is the best because you still get a high velocity but there is still plenty of weight for when it hits the target.

 

[Iryman]

12mm & 15mm lead

 

[WILD BILL]

5/16", 3/8", 12mm/1/2 and 50cal lead.

Mostly 3/8" an 1/2".

 

[Sharkman]

From .177 BBs to 1/4" and 3/8" steel. The BBs seem great for indoor practice.

 

[linuxmail]

I prefer 44 caliber lead balls, but I also use .38" and .44" steel ball bearings.

[sniper62]

recovered 9mm. 40 cal. and 45 ACP bullets,stones, marbles, 00 buckshot

 

[MeatMechanic]

1/4 5/16 3/8 all with diff ss's MM

 

[Tex-Shooter]

I use 1/2 inch steel for target and 44 cal. lead if hunting as they both weigh the same! The 1/2 Steel is easier on the backstop and not as nasty as lead. I have found no MM shot that does this! -- Tex

 

[joseph_curwen]

i would be happy to find such steel balls in France....

On doit chercher pour les balles propre. Il y a sur l'internet, surement.

The vote failed to specify the medium. For all around use, I shoot .36 lead, though I'd like to have larger, say 10-14mm.

Not to get off topic, but why is it so difficult to quote or edit a post now? Seems I have to use the full editor to make any small change- and quotes? Unless I include EVERY quote from the entire thread forget it.

What issue are you having? I just hit the quote button on the bottom right of your post to quote the above (then I just removed the unrelated text).

 

[mr.joel]

It's repeating every quote twice, i don't know if it' just my crap connection which is the usual suspect?

 

[pop shot]

I use 3/8", 7/16" steel .50 lead that i mold, and 5/8" steel. mostly 7/16 and 5/8" steel.

Anyway the duplicate quotes have ceased for the moment. When I would try to remove it, the program would tell me I had removed more quotes than there were originally and would utterly refuse to do it. I don't get it?

I've been shooting a lot of .32 lead. Not a popular choice, but I like it's pellet gun like behavior.
