10 silver dimes in a shotgun shell..give em change for a dollar.

Considering the spot price of silver at the moment, that transaction would be financially unsound.

Someone please give me a link to the challenge coin thread, it's the fourth time I've seen it mentioned.

Which one? There were 87 of them, plus spin offs.

Last check there were ELEVEN locked threads in the "active topics" queue related to challenge coins.  WTF happened??

cast the bullets undersize for caliber & make up the diameter by paper patching

Extra points if the paper used is from an old bible

Been watching "The Howling"?

You need to press brass or copper drive bands onto them.....

Give you the accuracy needed to dispatch the hounds of hell

I run robot insurance.

Maybe you could talk the werewolf to death with a lecture on the history of fiat currency.

Don't get me started on fiat currency.

No need for that, buy SS casting grain to pour into the shot shell.

I used to own a Mauser .32 auto and the only hollowpoints that it would reliably feed were Silvertips.

I've Got You Covered.

Once to coroner does the post he will find the silver bullets.  Then everyone will know it was really a werewolf otherwise why bother using silver bullets.  No prosecuter will ever take that shit to trial.

its all real....

You still better be able to prove you were in fear of your life. You just can't go around shooting people with silver bullets just because they are werewolves. What are you, some kind of lychenthropist?

Signature Silver Bullets™

Trump .45 Long Colt - Box of 10 - 1.5 oz. Signature Silver Bullet™




Not real Ammo but you could put these in 12 gauge shotgun shell and fire them at the wearwolf.








The new Coonan Silver Bullets are likely the ultimate piece in your anti-werewolf arsenal.  Just released, these new .357 Magnum rounds feature bullets that are jacketed in 99% pure silver.

Exact specs are not available on the cartridges, but assume they are powerful enough to both reliably cycle the Coonan .357 Magnum 1911 and to drop the evil undead in their tracks.

The rounds are loaded for Coonan by Atomic Ammunition, a company that manufactures match ammo that is smokin’ hot.   According to Coonan’s Facebook page, these rounds are “…loaded very hot.”

The Atomic Ammunition “regular” .357 Magnum pushes a 158 grain bonded hollowpoint to 1350 fps from a 4? barrel.  Similar loads from the larger ammo companies run at about 1200-1250 fps for a 158 grain bullet from an unknown length barrel.  All of Atomic Ammunition’s loads fall within SAAMI specs, but I bet there isn’t much room for error.

The Coonan Silver Bullets are sold in blister packs of eight cartridges that are stored in a hardwood ash anti-vampire stake, which makes this kit a triple threat to the undead:  werewolves, blood suckers and the humble zombie.

Developing the silver (real, freakin’ silver) jackets and vampire stakes took some effort and had to cost a fair bit of money. This is not a low-end product for the airsoft mall ninja.  This is a cool bit of kit for folks with a few more dollars in their pocket.  Coonan develops quality products, not cheap ones.

You see, the package contains a pre-sharpened stake for the blood suckers and 99% pure silver jacket bullets for the lycanthropes.  Either of the above can be used on zombies.

Too bad they don't sell the Coonan werewolf bullets anymore.  I would buy some.

Ah, Deputy Bob Ollinger style.

There was a Box o' Truth attempt at this. Apparently it worked.

A Gunwritr that dressed the part in order to write an article?  Nah, never happen.

BTW, if one really wanted to make silver projos to kill a werewolf the most practical way would be to cut cubic shot out of a silver round or coin. It would be devastating at short range.

Found the article, printed in the 60’s.

Lone Ranger

You now have me looking to put together a "Monster Slayer" kit. I researched black powder revolvers and cartridge conversion kits all yesterday. Already have 6.5x55 Swiss wood-bullet training rounds. Asked the wife this morning if I could mount a shadow box on the wall... wonder if our priest would bless a cross and give us some holy water....

It happened twice in that movie. Larry Talbot (Lon Cheney Jr.) first used the cane to kill the Gypsy guy/werewolf that attacked him (that's when he got bitten). Later he gave the cane to his father to protect himself because he knew he would change into a werewolf and go on the prowl. When he changed and attacked his father, his father killed him with it, not realizing it was his son until he died and changed back to human form.

Cool. I didn't know there was a replica made. A bit spendy, though.

load 3" 12 ga shells with silver scrap, easiest thing ever, casting the right size pure bullet is a bitch

just mold them into balls

Well, I suppose that's one strategy...did the werewolf kill him anyways afterwards?

I used to have a bullet mold for a 125-grain .312 spitzer-- thought for years about casting a mag's worth in silver and loading them into a clear plastic AK mag-- the metal fouling would be beyond hellish, but since I've lived 66 years without needing so much as a pointy stick, they would likely be more of a conversation piece--

Patricia Briggs had her character making silver bullets.

Then, her husband researched how to do this in real life. Casting Silver Bullets by Michael Briggs

Yes, they also turned up the '60's research.

Fun stuff

(Oh, and in the Dresdenverse, there are 6 types of werewolves and it's only one variety that is vulnerable to inherited silver.  Full Moon is the definitive text, IIRC. )

Marlow Bullets.  The Silver Bullet Co. out of Boise, years ago.  They made a very hard bullet but in my 9mm pistols were very accurate.  I still have about 1k of these.  Back when silver was cheaper, late 80 early 90s.

That might work as Holy Water if you get a priest to bless it but I wouldn't count on catching a buzz.

I'm curious,  silver's pretty hard compared to lead. I wonder how it compares to copper and penetration of high velocity calibers.

Lucky werewolf....

Cue the Fred picture: "That's My Fetish!"
(Some of you folk are weird!)

Yeah, I noticed that

they do...like 10 Frisbees ripping thru the target, only tried it at 20 feet, 8 of the 10 hit the target...it worked so I loaded up 8,,,
you know, just in case...
