Ice storm
I was cleaning out one of the freezers yesterday and had a 20-pound bag of crushed ice to dispose of. I'd been messing with a couple of new Colt magazines for my Commander, and had one loaded with some of the old CCI 200 grain "Flying Ashtray" hollow points. In my experience, and apparently that of others as well, if a gun/magazine combo will feed that cartridge it will feed durn near anything.
Anyhow, I peeled the plastic bag off and set the frozen chunk of crushed ice on a stump, backed off about ten yards and kissed the chunk with one of the flying ashtrays. Instant blizzard. I know why CCI quit making those things, but in a gun that will feed them they are still pretty awesome.
