    Just saw the great movie "Appaloosa" and the guy carried an 8 gauge double. Do you know if it would be possible to find one of those, and where? What about ammo or a reloader?

    Not to mention that you can't use it for hunting anything in the USA, at least migratory birdwise (ducks/geese). Anything larger than a 10 gauge is prohibited.

    Plus it is black powder, hand loads only. The really unsafe part is shooting a shotgun with damascus barrels.

    I red an article on the eight gauge. Seems that it is used in industry to clean cinder out of furnaces and that Winchester makes industrial shells for them and the hulls can be found at Old Western Scrounger. Also there are a few Modern 8 guage shotguns that were made in italy and imported into the us in the 70's and can still be found on the used market.

    What firearm is used to clean the hull of ships? Anyone know? I was working on the river once and I heard someone shooting and I started asking around what the hell and that is what they told, I dont recall asking what they shoot though.

    Thats got to be an 8. It uses some special load that blasts off crap, but doesnt damage the steel hull.

    I might have to see if we can order one at work and have it walk off and pay for it out of my own pocket so I can keep it
