Anybody here shoot 40mm (or 37mm)?

Been thinking about picking up an M79, m203,
or both...

Anybody here have one?
Shoot it much?
Favorite ammos? Do you load for it?

I don’t have one, but if I did, one of those bee hive 22 LR canisters would be at the top of the list.

Nope, the largest I go is just 20mm from my Lahti. LOL

I use 40mm cannon rounds from reloadableshells.com. My standard load is a combo of 34x #4 pellets with 16x single 0 pellets (just 'cus it fits and gives me 50 pellets per shot). Got chalk rounds too (but they are getting pricey) and 12g adapters.
Reloadable shells has some other cool rounds (4x.410, 12x .22, 18x .22, smoke casings, and multi-bbl cannon rounds) but they aren't cheap.

Yep. I use chalk rounds, and back when I was playing with it more, we fused the chalk rounds and filled them with repurposed fireworks. Neat stuff!

there is no place for me to shoot something like that............so I don't have one, but I was issued a M203 and shot that when I was a young buck in the Army, does that count?
