Buck And Ball

Silly .410 revolvers have spurred a renaissance for buck and ball ammunition.

Hornady has a 2-1/2" round that fires a 115gr hollow point followed by two 65gr, .35 caliber round balls.

Pretty much, bog standard buck and ball.

I have rules for that!

The bullet should do 1d+2(0.5) pi++ and the balls should do 1d pi.  Ranges are, as is typical, pathetic.

160/1,600 for the bullet and 44/890 for the balls.

That does over power and outrange the disc and BB loads Winchester makes, but at the cost of losing the RoF hit bonuses from 19 projectiles heading down range.
