8 ga. chamber lenghts

[MarketHunter]

Peter,

Good to see you back on the BBS.

Didn't know you were a front stuffer fan, sounds like a lot of fun. What maker is that single 8 bore you mention?

My big Churchill will handle 2 1/2 ounce loads really well, that's what I've used in it when I was over your way.

The prices on big guns over your way have really shot up, makes me think of selling my 8 gauge at auction through one of the big houses. Just hate to though, I'll never own another one even close to it.

I'd say asking ain't going to be getting on that Greener, particularly for a boxlock, unless it's something really special. I could have bought a very similar one last year for $6000 and passed pretty quick.

Hi Don.
I new about not being able to use 8 gauge on fowl, but it seems a strange ruling and would have thought that it would be more appropriate to put a shot charge limit in place rather than a gun size restriction, after all it should not matter if you shoot 2 1/4 ounce in a 10g or 8g. As for youre chamber sleeves this is basically going back to the brass perfect case system. i have a willam ford 10g chambered for no12 brass perfect cases i load & shoots this with very good results. I also have a T Wild 10g. i use modified 10g shell tubes to accept 12g shells(streched on a mandrel) this works exactly the same as the brass perfect shells in the my william ford.
