450 grains of powder and 4 ounces of buckshot!

No wonder the Old Sailing Navy and Privateersmen referred to them as Murdering Pieces!!!!

That ain't so!!

You know good and well that Elmer would have used that 4-ounce ball on squirrel to keep from having to pick buckshot out of the meat. I think he broke a tooth on a piece of shot once.

I think he limited his use of buckshot to quail and pheasant on the wing. But only when they wouldn't let him use his .44 RemMag six-gun. :twisted:
