Speaking of the old guy who will shoot anything, I remember one who my Daddy would warn about it and later we ran into him and he was missing his left thumb. Seems he killed the rabbit but also his left thumb when the chamber exploded! And the bailing wire he wrapped around the wrist of that old gun didn't help either.
Please just stay with RST or something you know is safe. We need all you guys, if nothing else you keep up entertained on this forum.

I have guns that would be safe to fire with the ten gauge 1 5/8 ounce Super-X or Remington loads, but what would I use them for? Pheasants, either pointed or tower thrown, or turkeys are possibilities, but clay targets are better addressed with handloads. I think the availability of the heavy 1 5/8 ounce 2 7/8" factory loads will continue for decades.
