It’s a valid question, I think. Would hate to spend what people are paying for 8 gauge shells, only to discover said shells were all duds.
Then again, there’s a dearth of these suckers for sale.
And now, some fun.

I love the True Facts series… Always good for a laugh.
That 8-ga side-by-side makes my shoulder wince in anticipation. Even with black powder loads…
Double trigger? Double barrel?
Imagine both barrels at the same time.
*evil smiley*
My sister owned a gun store in Virginia. She had several antique firearms, and even had an old double barrel 8 ga. She is 95lbs dripping wet with lead shoes, and she pulled both triggers. I heard she actually went airborne.
Lucky she didn’t go into orbit… 😀
Though, to be honest, I served with a tiny little woman whom was a fine shotgunner. 5’00” and *maybe* 95#, if that much – But technique was superior – better than my own, if I must say. Good tight hold, and she let her body absorb the recoil, instead of fighting it.
OTOH, there was a big hulking dude I served with at the same time whom I would never trust with a shotgun – He damn near took my head off, and he was always wrestling with the recoil. He even dropped his weapon once.
To her credit, she never dropped the shotgun, and kept it pointed down range. I dunno if I could have pulled that off.
That’s a working definition of ‘good form,’ I’d say – considering.
True fact about an armadillo, my dog flipped one over and ate it like bony taco… It might have been her proudest day ever. Also the three foot vertical jump can allow it to get onto and run down a predator’s back. (I have seen this happen.)
This strip reminded me of some of the stupid questions I had to answer working the phones for my old employer, a industrial supply company. Well, not just the phones, the counter as well.
Customers would get upset with us because some of us younger guys wouldn’t know how to install certain parts. It’s as if they expected us to be qualified master electricians.
WHAT?! oddammo4sale.come wasn’t a REAL web site!
I’m going to check if it’s available… I may have enough stock to start that sucker up.
So what’s holding you up? Grab it and go into business!
Google “12 gauge rifle from hell.” He also does 8 gauge ammo. It’s intended for rifled bores. It shoots through elephants.
Three were black powder elephant guns in bores as large as 4-gauge. Even 2-bore (33.7mm – 1.327 cal). Yes… A HALF POUND projectile was possible – Go figure. It would take a real He-Man to fire that! Some fired explosive shells. Some fired bizarre hollow spherical lead projectiles containing razored metal disks. And other weirdness. Some of that old ammo would be collectible as hell, now.
In my field I actually had an idiot bug me for five minutes with stupid questions about how to use a product. When I asked him if he ever turned the damn thing on he replied that he did not own one yet!
I hope the phone slamming broke his ear drum!
Predator drone. Just sayin’.
It’s “Pelosi Ammo.” You have to buy it first, to see what’s in it.
Damn. You could market that – “Pelosi Package” – contents unknown until purchased.
