Scattering Ashes--The Ballistic Way

I like it!  But I suspect mixing with a big dram of BP would work better than mixing with smokeless.

Mike Dupps of Willow has a fitting tribute in mind. Hunting has been such an important part of his life that when each of his sons was born, he stopped on his way home from the hospital to buy them their first rifles. So when his time comes, he wants his ashes mixed into shotgun shells so he can be taken hunting one last time.

This is not unprecedented. The widow of a Sotheby's gun specialist in Scotland had her late husband's ashes mixed with shot and loaded into 12-bore cartridges. Then his friends bagged 70 partridges, 23 pheasant and seven ducks in his honor.
