Ammunition recognition goes down a bit when the headstamp says "10 gauge".

I have some Gamebore BP 2 oz loads and some of Tom Armbrust's 2 1/2 oz loads. Considering how much it cost, I would hate to have the DH confiscated:crying:. Nevertheless, the tiny bit of libertarian in me tells me it would be a victimless crime:nono:. I could kill my limit of ducks, brant and geese a WHOLE lot quicker (and cheaper...) with my Benelli SBE II loaded with 3 rounds of 2 oz. Hevi-shot than I could with a ponderous damascus 8 bore...a Whole lot quicker...:eek:

Those metallic "10 gauge" stickers for the bases of eight gauge shells are cheaper when you buy more. If I see a game warden with a bore micrometer, I'm out of there.

Now thats funny.....:rotf: But how do ya explain the lead shot?...:rolleyes:

:whistle:No need to explain, the overshot card is stamped Bismuth!:rotf:

Hmmm... let's see, a warden with a bore micrometer and a degree in metalurgy... what are the chances? :corn:

My stash of Bismuth eights is up to 130 now. That is more than a lifetime supply for me. Mr. Gary Herman still has some of the factory loaded Eley Bismuth eights available. He isn't real good about shipping them, but he takes a few boxes to gun shows.

Wardens don't need a degree in metallurgy or a bore mic. Many of them carry a small device that passes electrical current through a shell when it is inserted in the device. The device measures the resistance and indicates lead or steel. Niceshot and other "hevi" metal shot can fool it and register "lead". (Ask Destry, he was glad he had his lawyer at his side for that one). I think it takes up to a 10 bore shell. Now if an 8 bore doesn't fit in it, one might be prepared for some questions...Sir, what gauge shotshell is this?

Ok Dean you've did it again surpassed the memory in my grey matter. What in sam hill is metalurgy (study of metals?) Nice shot is safe in extra tight chokes no? ch

Niceshot is safe in tight (Parker) chokes and tighter Fox ones too...
