What have you done to the 870? That's a lot different than stock!

......I believe they are dummy practice rounds for the launcher.

·you put cabbages in them then launch them into the terr's water supply.
it's quite messy actually.
Mick Nartin:
I cut the 870 down to 14", added a Mesa Tactical adaptor so I could install the SOPMOD stock, pistol grip and Trijicon Reflex sight. I also swapped out the forend for a three rail model which allows me to use a "hand stop" and tac light if I wish or anything else that will fit a picatinny rail.
Terra:
The blue easter eggs are "practice chalk" rounds. They launch about 200 yards and break open on impact releasing a cloud of red chalk to mark where they landed. I make them myself for about .95 cents each. If you can find them commercially the cost between $5.00 & $15.00 each depending on quantity and hazmat delivery.

The recipe is 1/2 teaspoon of FFG powder in a booster hull or 1 teaspoon of FFG powder in a regular casing. A 35mm film can filled with red line chalk and a solid resin nosecone and base wad glued to the film can. I cast my own nosecones and bases from molds I purchased off of Grog's 40mm web site. The molds cost me $20 and they will last for ever.

Stick this in your wallet to be on the safe side. If you get hassled about those rounds just flash the card and all your troubles go away.Ready for Zombies and then some. I just found a recipe for "explosive practice rounds" which do not need to be individually registered since the lift charge and explosive charge is under 1/4 oz.
