Its an awesome idea I knew I should have patented!
I have always said when i snuff it, chuck me in the incinerator and blow my remains out of a cannon. Least I can say I went out with a bang!

I won't get into the false advertising of the cost comparisons or the eco friendly, because that is not what this is about.

I have over the years loaded many sets of cremated remains into shot shells.  From a single box to  full sets of cremated remains.  A full set of cremains is roughly a full case of trap loads with no shot or multiple cases depending on how much shot you want in each shell.  Doesn't sound like a lot of work until you figure that it is best done with a single stage press (I use a Mec Jr.) and there are some special steps that need to be done.

It can add a meaningful observance to the service for the right person, family and friends.

I honestly thought from the title of the thread that it was a message from Badgersmilk.

In which case it would have been an even money bet as to whether it was .22, 7.62x39 or .44 mag. The one thing we do know is that it wouldn't be .357 or .556 the round commonly fired from a "poodle shooter" (better Path? ;D). ;D C'mon back Badger, it was just a tempest in a teapot.

NASAs metric confusion caused Mars orbiter loss
CNN NASA lost a 125 million Mars orbiter because one engineering team used metric units while another used English units for a key spacecraft operation, according to a review finding released Thursday.

Forgive the professor.  

It's metric, he's still stuck somewhere between fractions and the Dewey decimal system which FQ, has nothing to do with mathematics!

1mm is .03937"
10mm is .3937" or 1cm
100mm is 3.937" or 10cm
1000mm is 39.37" or 100cm or 1m ......should I continue?
