2 1/4oz loads are just a pleasure to shoot and hunt with in a heavy 8 gauge. I let my 100lb 13 yr old nephew shoot mine and my fiancee and they both said it was easy to shoot. I use my brothers tripod to hold it up when I let other people shoot it though.
I feel like most people think an 8 gauge is excessive until they've shot one haha. |

I am envious! A few years ago, Minnesota outlawed shotguns larger than 10 gauge for turkeys. This happened a year after I bought a nice 8 bore shotgun and a boatload of ammunition from Tom Armbrust!

Congratulations!
It is to bad not all states allow hunting with a shotgun larger than 10 gauge. |

I’ve got 10 gauge inserts I can carry along with a couple 10 gauge shells for the bunny warden .

8 GA.
Do not know the max. charge weights of an 8 but the 10-3 1/2 is probably equal to it yet it is legal and the 8 is not. It made some sense for waterfowl before the 10 3 1/2 was developed but no longer. Perhaps a knowledgeable person can let us know the max. weights of each.
