Kenny,

A short ten with the right load of Nice Shot #2 or BB will fold a goose way further than that. In fact one has to get a launch permit from the FFA before shooting that load. The FFA doesn't want to loose any airliners. It treats a short ten with Nice Shot like one of those hobby rockets that will climb to 5000 feet!

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Office_...Transportation
An amateur rocket has a total impulse of 200,000 lb-s or less, and cannot reach an altitude of 150 km above sea level. If a rocket exceeds these capabilities (or if it has a person on-board), it is considered licensable.[4]
Amateur rockets come in 3 classes, and the regulations applied to each class increase as you move up through the classes. The following list describes the general regulations.
Class 1—Model Rockets do not require approval to be launched, and are legal so long as they are launched in a safe manner.
Class 2—High-Power Rockets require approval to enter National Airspace. Information regarding the rocket and where it will be launched must be provided to obtain this approval.
Class 2A-Short Ten with Nice Shot
Class 3—Advanced High-Power Rockets require approval to enter National Airspace. More advanced information about the rocket (such as the dynamic stability profile) and operations is required to obtain this approval.
Class 4-Eight Gauge shot from Parker Brothers shotgun.
Once a rocket exceeds amateur rocket criteria, it is considered "Licensed," which means it requires either a License or Experimental Permit in order to fly.

I was under the impression "Nice Shot" wasn't readily available .

Well I have to tell you boys that over the years I ferreted out seven Super 10's in ~ original condition. I just couldn't pass up one that was unmolested. Three went to three friends. Kenny bought the fourth. That leaves three and I probably only need two. If and when I decide to move that one my plans are to put it on the Members FS site. Thanks for your understanding.

Nice Shot is not readily available right now. RST is the only source I know of and they don't have any

[Allen Peterson]

I got a five pound bag last week from BPI! Maybe it was the last one?

[Mills]

I probably need to start reloading non-tox shells

As far as I know BPI sells ITX shot, not Nice as loaded by RST. All of my Nice came from Precision Reloading in 1 kilo boxes (2.2 pounds). Precision currently shows all heavy waterfowl size Nice shot is out of stock.

Just took possession of a #3 frame DH with 32" sleeved barrels and new wood. It has 3 1/2" chambers but not sure I want to go there yet, ordered some 2 7/8" #6's to get a feel for the gun. Gun was born in 1888 weighs 9.4 pounds but points like a bird gun, can't wait to try it out.
