I used 2 3/4" 12ga. shells with #7 1/2 shot out of my new shotgun. What do you think?

Maybe I should send it back to some HD company... "It doesn't work!"

I think you should have "led" it a little more.

When you send it back, just tell them "it has some bad sectors".

Hmmm I wonder if that would be that form of "Wiping" the drive would be considered good enough for the DoD??
If so that'd be fun
