MadManKirk, you seem to know your s$%t. Why do the shotshells produce quick barrel wear? I would have thought that the plastic capsule would have been relatively easy on the bore.
As a kid, one of my friends snuck up on a rabbit with his Winchester .22 lever action and dosed it at arms length with one of those shotshells. Not a clean kill.
Black sheep usually has some cool stuff. Bought my .338 in the Boise store for about wholesale when I was living out of my car. I also enjoy the White Elephant Guns and Toys in Spokane, but have not been able to check out the Gunatorium north of town.
