Who's busted a tooth on a shotgun pellet?
 

Eating a goose stir-fry for supper and danged if I didn't bust bust a molar in pieces with a BB from a piece of goose.

Any other fellers out their break a tooth on a shotgun pellet?

Please tell me I ain't alone:sign0176:

Your not alone

Cracked a tooth #2 shot and now I am very careful

November. Liquored. Goose Jerky. Crunch. Broken molar. She happens.

My mother in law has done it twice.
Both times on jerky!
And she’s still buying lottery tickets..........

Never on shot, but I have on something hard in trailmix once, it's certainly an unexpected surprise. ouch!

I have a mini detector that works awesome for pellets. Cheap to buy and has found a pile while making sausage and jerky.

wife needed $1500 crown
 

After trying my goose jerky. first small piece was soooo good she took a bigger piece. That was the expensive piece!!

Not on a pellet, but I had a 1500 dollars popcorn kernel.

OUCH, feel your pain
 

Yup,
i was at a Fish and Game wild game night a few years back and wouldn't you know it I like the Pheasant Goulash and about the third mouthful i feel a crunch in teeth. Cost me 2 teeth and a trip to the dentist.
Now I don't take the upland or migratory bird without dissecting each fork or spoon full.

Yuuup!

Last year.... steel shot on pheasant.

Chipped the edges of 2 molars...... super sharp edges...

It sucked man.

No busted teeth. I have one of these:

Seems like cheap insurance in hindsight.

Unfortunately it doesn't work on popcorn kernels:)

Smaller Bites.
 

Learned that lesson the hardway too (th)-it's largely a first world problem & a reminder to take smaller bites everyone.

Does it work on lead as it mentions every metal except lead. I'm thinking it does, but want to clarify that.

We always debone our birds and cut into thin strips and then follow wound channels looking for shot.

Large shot size (BBs and 1 for geese,,, 2 and 3 for ducks) with fast loads (over 1500 fps) and not taking fringe shots really helps cut down on the number of embedded pellets,,, but you still get a the odd one which makes dissection when processing worth your time!!!

I have, total cost was around $2500 for the filling and eventual route canal. Still paying for it as the tooth occasionally needs to be ground because the bite keeps changing.

I purchased a small Garret hand held metal detector that now goes over every bird I shoot. I would guess I have found 20 or so pellets that I might have missed without it.
