I've heard of people making rock salt and penny loads before. Have any of you experimented with unorthodox loads? What were the results?

Think of it as a firearms oriented Mythbusters! Not 100% scientific, but well worth the time to read through.

Another thing they handle is sheetrock penetration, I found it somewhat surprising.

Learn to operate your shotgun with 00Buck, no need to put together something thats more myth than fact. Besides I'd hate to think of the lawsuit that would take place later after shooting someone with a load like that.

Centurion of Italy makes some unusual 12 gage rounds. They make 00 Buckshot in 2" length which allows 1 more round in a standard 5 round mag tube.
They also make a round loaded with with 1 slug and 6 00 Buckshot. I got accused of cheap shot advertising on this forum for giving details on how to buy products and services so you can do a Google search to find this ammo.

Rice and rock salt for stray dogs. Rice breaks the skin and shatters. Creates a yeast type infection that itches like crazy. If the dog has a brain he will go someplace else...

I've seen loads with square(well, squarish) shot in order to make the pattern spread faster. I don't remember the maker.
