I haven't used mine a lot. I have 25# of #8 lead shot for reloading shot shells. It has recently developed a small leak. I need to get into it and see what the issue is. I have shot a couple hundred round balls in it since I've owned it. .36 balls hit really hard.
I shoot a pest bird out of a Magnolia tree at about 25 feet once. Weren't many feathers left on it.

I was on the back porch of the house we lived in at the time and the bird landed on one of the outer branches giving me a clear shot at it. It was more opportunity than skill.
The shells you can buy at Phoxx mfg and you can use Hornady or speer. 375 round ball. I shoot the Hornady.
