Why is the 8 bore illegal for waterfowl/migratory game?

[OH Osthaus]

a tangent here on the topic of big bores and wildfowling.

the newest issue (June 2012) to arrive of the UK's Shooting Gazetee has a letter from a gentlemen who is looking to collect information and submissions from shooters on the 10 bores and bigger that are still in use in the marshes (remember the guage/bore restrictions are not in place there).

his goal is to assemble a book on the topic, that would be something to see, a four bore in action.

not sure if he would include a colonial piece

Bob Watcham is a good source for big bore information OVER THERE.
He definitely wants our gun information and communicates regularly with me. I dont think he ever sleeps in his time zone!

he also has a nice catalog of wildfowling books.
