Was there ever anything larger ?

I've shot geese and ducks with 8 and 4 gauge guns in England. They aren't the "Flock Killers" that everybody seems to think they are. The big bore shoulder guns were made to shoot long range, that was really their purpose.

If I ever get enough scheckels to get a double 8 it's a pretty darned good bet I'll kill a deer with it . But so far in my 52 years I've never fired a shot at a duck or goose .
