OK the wolfman was on TV here in Norway last night (I'm here on business) and I got to thinking...I need some silver bullets! Yeah I know silly right?, but wouldn't it be cool to have a few live loaded silver rounds behind glass that says break in case of warewolf! Anyone know of anyone making novelty bullets like this loaded as live ammo? I think it would be something cool for the man-room.
I always keep a few silver bullets around in case of werewolf attack. I store them next to my garlic, cross and wooden stake anti vampire kit. I expect everyone does.
Oregon Trail bullets puts silver in their cast bullets to help make the bullets bhn level up. Load those up and you can at least make one deathly ill with a well placed hit.
Years ago, one of the writers for a well known firearms magazine (I don't recall which now) poured some pure silver bullets and found the accuracy to be almost worthless. He/they then poured the silver into rods and milled them on a lathe, accuracy did improved, but not dramatically.
I get 250gr 45 Colt from Tonto's Lone Ranger Silver Mine Emporium. It's just off Route 66.
In a western movie, a shotgun was loaded with silver dimes instead of shot. After he shot the deputy, Billy the kid said "Best dollar eighty I ever spent."

I wonder if the silver was to hard to make proper contact with the lands and grooves of the barrel? Do you remember what they deduced as the problem?
Reason I ask is that years ago I cast some lead that was too hard and the base of the bullet did not melt properly to form a good seal, so the gas blew right past it as it traveled down the bore, creating a molten mess in the barrel. You couldn't hit the broadside of a barn with them... But the early years learning sure was fun!
