Linoge got into a chat with some gamers (LARPers) about the possibilities of a wooden shotgun slug for vampire-killin'.
Cue my inner geek. Not the mechanics of vampire-killin', but an effective conversion from lead to wood.
Wood is too light, so a wood/metal combination is clearly necessary.
I ended up doing the math.
Turns out a simple cylinder/cone arrangement will get you within a couple grains of the original weight.
Interesting ... very interesting.

I think the most persuasive argument against vampires being real is that Remington hasn't introduced the 100 grain DRAC-STOPPER...
Look how long it took Hornady to perfect ZMax. I'm not convinced.
Heh, this was mentioned in a vamp novel I was reading last night. GET OUT OF MY HEAD, MAN.
But Laura... it's cozy in here. Good light, lots of room...
Har. :P
I read an article in Handloader a few years ago that mentioned that during WW II the Army tested copper jacketed OAK bullets. I remember thinking, "Vampire Nazis?". Very cool.
