Various gauges

[brybenn]

After the government said all hunters need is a 22 gauge, I sold all my 12, 16 and 20 gauges to have enough money for a nice 22 gauge. However, they must be rare because every store I ask for it, I hear “no” and get strange looks…

Keeping fingers crossed and hope I come by a nice 22 gauge soon.

Maybe shot show 2024 lol

LOL. Same predicament everybody who listens to the government suffers.

Has to be a odd 22 gauge some place will be black powder and maybe muzzle loader also.

For those that own and shoot shotguns of various gauges, .410 - 10ga, what criteria do you use when choosing which gauge to use?

Well, for starters I dont use a .410 Bore for Canada Geese nor will I use a 10 gauge for grouse..........

Completely depends on do I want to clean it or not after. I have a post circa 1900 20ga I’ll carry on lazy days, and the rest of the time, it’s a variety of gauges in black powder muzzleloading and breech loading to choose from, according to the mood of the day.
