What Could Possibly Go Wrong: Cremated Ash Ammo

[Jack Burton]

Has someone you loved recently passed on to that great trap field in the sky? Is deer hunting with Grandpa one of your fondest childhood memories? Or would you just like a way to make sure your trusted Labrador can continue to help you bring in those ducks once he’s gone? If you’re struggling with how to appropriately memorialize that certain someone, the creative folks at Holy Smoke may have just the solution for you…


Holy Smoke will load the cremated remains of your special someone into live ammunition, either shotgun shells or cartridges. How and where you fire your loved one’s remains is up to you.

Brings new meaning to a 21 gun salute...............

Good ol' shake-n-bake. Saves me a lot of work!

 

[TopDog]

I'm at a complete loss for words.

 

[G_Stines]

That.. its kinda cool. I would do that with my bird dog, but not my grandpa.

ETA: I probably wouldn't shoot them. I would get the wooden box and put them on the shelf next to my bucks and hunting pics. That way she'd feel right at home.

Dick Cheney should give these to Harry Whittington as a gag gift.

 

[Glockapoppadopolis]

I love the smell of gun powder but I always found the smell that came out of Granpa's ash to be rather foul.

 

[sbcman]

Ammunition is........PEOPLE!!!!!!!!!!!











My bad, that was soylent green.

 

[Walt_Jabsco]

$1250 for 250 shotgun shells. $5 a shell. Better be some damn important things you're shooting at with those.

And to all the reloaders, do you think it would cost you $5 a shell to sprinkle a little ash in with the powder?

 

[CalebToNowhere]

That's what I was thinking. Now it would be different if they were somehow compressing/swaging the ash into the actual projectile...

 

[youngda9]

Brings a whole new meaning to Unique powder.

You could just do it yourself. Add 2-5 grains of pa-pa's remains into your rifle loads to get more of a black powder cloud upon firing. Then everyone can breathe him into their lungs as the smoke and charred remains waft across the firing line.

 

[w2k0311]

And I thought ole' FFG smelled bad before.....

 

[Rocket]

Throw some shot in with him, and Grandpa can protect your family from the grave!

 

[w_ADAM_d88]

How do you know that they are actually putting "ash remains" into the shells/cartridges? The could just be making some "high quality" reloads, and selling them to you saying that they include ashes of your loved ones?

 

[youngda9]

A better idea would be to put G-pa's remains in a big firework that could be the finale to your neighborhood fireworks display.

 

[Relatively Ninja]

If your loved one's ashes are loaded in with the powder, doesn't that mean you'll be cleaning "grandpa" out of your barrel with a bore brush when you get home? Doesn't seem like a very nice thing to do to a loved one. But I like the idea of displaying them in your house.

 

[edsinger]

I guess its better than being put in a douche and rolled through one more time...

THEY CALL ME OLD SMOKEY

 

[Yukon227]

I always thought it would be cool to have my ashes loaded in a few shells and be ceremoniously fired over some of my favorite duck hunting lakes, by my hunting buddies. I lost a good chocolate lab a couple of years ago and I put some of his ashes in a decoy that I carved, gadwall, his first real retrieve.

Now if you really want to do something cool, use the ashes in a dough ball and go catch a big stinkin carp with your mother in law
