Bee killer loads


Recommended Posts

I found that if you get the neighbor kids to tear a huge hole in your screened porch, the carpenter bees come in and can't figure out how to get out. Then you just vacuum up the bodies every week or so. :/

I'm shooting crushed walnut media over 2 gr of Bullseye, cardstock wads over the powder and shot. Not a recommendation, just info. I killed 50+ last year. I do miss occasionally, so I loaded 100 rounds this year. ;)

OK, I'd love to get in on the fun. Where do I get the 38 cal cardstock wads?

Get the rubberized cork gasket sheet stock from O'Reilleys auto parts. Then chamfer a 38 brass to sharp edge. Tap base with mallet to cut. Do 3 or 4 and then push out of case using a bamboo skewer stick through primer hole. Edited by R_Bert

That is basically what I did and it worked great.

Now I just use #4 blanks from Home Depot without any media. The concussion puts them on the ground where you can step on them.

I wish I re-loaded. I would pay dearly for some bee loads. .38, .357 , .45 colt long...

Why not start reloading? If you can follow directions and have a degree of common sense. Original expense is a bit high but after that adding calibers and components are only add on costs. $350 to $400 max will get you started.

 Will this work?

 When I first started teaching my daughter to shoot, I made up some wax loads for a .38.  I drilled out the primer hole on some cases to 1/8" and used magnum primers with a wax "bullet" and it worked great. How about, magnum primer, cardboard wad, walnut media and cardboard wad?

Fourtyfive, what end of the state are you in?
