Just finished loading up some military brass with a deceased veteran's ashes at the request of his family.  The primers are deactivated but the bullets are 147 gr. FMJ, compressed loads.

Wow... that's pretty odd. They didn't want his ashes actually fired?

Interesting idea, suppose they could be engraved too.  Or load live and go out with a bang.

I thought this post was going to be about porn or some show on Skin-e-max.

So, he wanted to sit around in an ammo can?

Really, what is the purpose? Sounds mighty strange.

If I had to go, I wouldn't mind being chambered in a fine weapon, almost like being part of something you love.

Sorry for the loss, that's quite a unique memento though.

Using 50 BMG brass would have made the project quicker.

I had an uncle that died, wanted his ashes loaded into 12 guage shot shells as "buffering" material for the birdshot, and then used to shoot some clays, his favorite sport.

Not so uncommon as you might think.

Hunter S. Thompson had his ashes loaded into fireworks.

I was planning to be loaded into 12ga. shotshells and shot over the river on the opening day of duck season by my sons Buck and Drake.

could you imagine accidentally grabbing the wrong box of ammo? "Jesus, I just bump-fired my dad!"

Maybe so multiple family members can get him instead of one person just having a urn full of him?

Still is kinda weird

I want my ashes placed in a #10 can, with a brick of C-4 in the center.

FIRE IN THE HOLE!

(hit clacker 3 times)

Bye, Ken!

Some guy did this a few years ago with shotshells and IIRC, his wife shot him.

Not a bad way to go I guess. I would like to be fired some place nice though... Or maybe used as carry ammo (CCW).

Custom silver and gold bullets

I'm sensing a merger opportunity here.

I bought a box (20 rounds) of REAL silver bullets from a gunshop in California. The owner said that some priest had ordered them, but never returned for them. They were about 2 years old IIRC...

why bother with the cremation then? I want my corpse placed on a couple hundred pounds of C4, and then detonated...

Well, what if your eyeball was found in some old lady's flower pot a mile away?  Or your penis on someone's doorstep? etc ....

Not to mention the site of the "dispersal" would be rather odorous a few days later...

I want my ashes turned into bullets.

Then I want those bullets to be used to murder every person that I hate.
