Paul_M Posted March 26, 2010 Report Share Posted March 26, 2010 What is the deal? Gauge or bore? Inches or mm? # balls per pound of lead? I don't know jack about handguns I'll readily admit. But there is no way I should feel this confused about shotguns based on my experience. I own one now, a Rem 1985 870 12ga mag sp. I've owned several other including Browning (FN) 20 sxs, and a winchester 20 pump. "dumb it down" nah let me have it right btwn the eyes. From larger diameter to smaller 10 ga useless weapon,IMHO, used to sky blast aka as pass shoot geese from blinds, heavy, tons of recoil 12 ga common deer w slugs, turkey, geese, and all up land game 16 ga upland game gun, decoying ducks, uncommon 20 ga common, upland game gun, decoying ducks 28 ga uncommon, close range upland game .410" pea shooter, close range snake, although I see Rem has a .410 home defense cartridge. _______________________ See you on the big one.
