Ammo Question
This Kinda goes with the 12 Gauge from Hell,
but did anyone know that Remington made this type of ammo?

I really don't know what you would use it for, but interesting none the less.


Mink and Wall Tents don't go together. Especially when you are sleeping in the Wall Tent.

I take it you haven't seen the 4 gauge on the WW site yet...?

Neat stuff, but building/acquiring a stout framee shotgun would be fun.

It's used in special guns for knocking "clinkers" ie chunks of unwanted material loose in kilns and other similar applications. Remington makes 2 models of what they call a kiln gun, the 401, and the 401S.

Yep! We used these when I worked for Public Service Co. of Colorado to knock the "clinkers" (built up fly ash from burning coal) in boilers used for steam turbines in electrical generation.
