I am a sucker for 'novelty' things associated with firearms. I have never seen shot sizes smaller than #9, even though I knew they existed. Ballistic Products is offering 10lb bags of each for sale.

I was trying to imagine what I would use them for when I read one of the reviews that said that the reviewer used them in his shot-loaded pistol rounds. I immediately thought of RecoilJunky, as I recall him mentioning that he loads up 'snake' loads for his .44 Mag which are shot-shells.

"Trouble is", no snakes in AK. (Not really a 'trouble'.) I don't shoot 'little' birds (smaller than doves) with shotguns, and at the moment, I can't come up with a reason to buy any of these. I'm sure I don't have to convince 'you all' that I don't intend to let a lack of imagination stop me from buying a couple of bags. :D

Please offer your thoughts on potential uses, especially for #12.

I had a guy tell me to load 2 1/4  in a 10 guage mag load the stiffest load I could find and get a cylinder choke and flock shoot pigeon s up close. He claimed lots of multiple kills! Lol it might be kind of fun. I almost bought a bag of 12 shot but they wanted alot of money for it so I passed.
