I think an overly zealous NRO could run you in for baiting with a load like that

I guess then my skeet gun has a new nickname, "The bird feeder"
Seriously though a 28ga load in a 12ga gun is a very pleasant load to shoot, and effective too. The Cheerios are an economical, easily available filler wad and the fact that a single cheerio takes the space of 1/8 ounce of shot makes for easy loading of super light 12ga loads. |

Thanks Pete!
I'm going to try Cheerios instead of the 16 fiber wads I currently use in my 10 Gauge loads. Cheerios would be much cheaper than fiber (filler) wads! Mark |

Another plus, with a box of Cheerios on the reloading bench you can have a little snack now and then while reloading |

Various sizes of bean will do the same. One poster mentioned the advantage over smaller shotgun wads is that the cereal or bean is not sensitive to the way it is placed in the shell. Thank you, Pete.
