Why You Shouldn't carry Two Different Gauges at the Same Time!

That is one of the reasons different gauges are different colors.  So the shooter must have been color blind in addition to being stupid.

Watched a very intelligent lady grab the wrong shotgun off a rack at the load table. Started the stage, dropped two shells, and they disappeared down the barrel. FULL STOP! Not a stupid person by any stretch. Shit happens. Two almost IDENTICAL shotguns. Stupid is doing it twice.

We got away lucky.  When we were kids, our folks would trap shoot off a neighbor’s porch.  We had 12, 16, 20, 28 & .410 shotguns all being used by pretty much everyone (3-4 adults and 5 kids between 9-14).

I got a box of green 20ga shells, I wonder how old they are?

[Alpo]

Don't know the age, but I bet you they're Remington.

[Michigan Slim]

@Cold Lake Kid, SASS # 51474  You okay?

Dove hunting, got to my spot before dawn, loaded two from my coat pocket into my 12 gauge O/U in the dark.  Doves fly over at first light;  click, click.  I had used a 16 gauge double the week before and didn't realize I still had 16 gauge shells in my pocket.  The 16 gauge hulls lodged in the forcing cones well forward of the firing pins.  It took a while to fashion a ramrod out of a somewhat straight stick to push those jammed 16 gauge shells out of the barrels.

 

The 16 gauge double was sold within a few days.  I promised myself I would never take that risk again.  Since then I have only owned 12 gauge and .410 bore shotguns.

 

Murphy's Law always finds a way.

That's why I stick with 12g and 410 .

I am never going to make that mistake !
