Rocksalt handloads?

Any use whatsoever??

I have never loaded a shell yet with this tho heck - would not take me long to do.

I reckon if things real bad then lead is gonna be better but - we have the ''less than lethal'' camp, within which some incapacitation may be wanted without worse.

So - total joke? Worthy of any consideration? Not for me tho!

I open it to the floor

Nope.

If I'm going to shoot, I'm going to shoot something that's going to get threat to cease, not get elevated blood pressure and taste better after I cook its remains.

Oops, scratch that last part.

I honestly believe the use of such a thing is apocryphal for lack of a better word.

I was taught with VERY a heavy hand, That I should never shoot or even point a gun at another person unless I am willing and justified in take there life.
So rock salt loads seem like Karma waiting to happen, to me.

Great for pre cooking up the jerky. You can also mix in seasoning too, if ya reload.

Rock Salt

Actually, methinks Rock Salt was sometimes loaded into muzzle loading shotguns. I'll bet that did sting a bit.
Not too many folks using those "front end loading shotguns" for defense anymore.
I guess one advantage was that (in a pinch) you could stuff nearly anything down that tube.

Don't know if rock salt it was ever loaded into shotshells.

I loaded some in my old 12 gauage for pest control years ago. The feral cats and dogs I used it on were more put off by the bang than the salt. Out past 10 yds it wouldn't penetrate butcher paper.


LEAD

Never, never, never, ever! Totally inefficaceous, or unintentionally lethal. With time and moderate humidity, the rocksalt will coalesce into a slug.

I helped a friend pop off some of his granddad's old varmit loads, once. No "solid" plugs of salt came out, but some sharp pieces of buckshot size were around and in the squash we were shooting. I'd be surprised if a salt "slug" left the barrel intact, but those chunks were big enough to tear stuff off/out.
