I think you may need to check your chemistry Richard. DMSO splits the
molecular bonding and thus it effects most everything. And the buck shot
is usualy made of brass and or lead, and some steel. All these would be
effected by the dmso to some extent. Im pretty sure that the substance
piggy backed with the dmso would "soak" into all of the various metals to
some degree thus enabeling the poison etc to be transfered via the shot.
