Own a 67 gauge shotgun?

I think the US Navy has one on a cruiser.

More commonly known as a .410 bore

"Incidentally, the .410 is the only popular shotshell that uses bore diameter instead of gauge. Gauge is a measure of the number of lead balls the same diameter as the shotgun's bore that are equivalent to one pound. The .410 would be a 67-gauge shotgun, meaning 67 lead balls .410-inch in diameter weigh one pound."

I've always been a 410 hunter, back a few years ago everybody was using 12 gauge and you could buy 410 cheap now with the 410 craze the price is skyrocketed if you can even find any. I laid in a pretty good stockpile but I definitely don't use it for target shooting.

When I was a kid we had a bolt action .410 I used to use. Killed a boat load of skwirl with it and even wing shot some pheasants. The two .410 I own are the double badger and a savage single shot for turkey. I like it for skwirl. Too many times I wished I had a shotgun while I had the rifle and vice versa. I did lighten the trigger on the badger. It still needs a little more.

My first gun I ever had was a Mossberg bolt action 410. Many a squirrel rabbit and grouse met its end with that thunderstick. I need to get out and try that new contender barrel.

I think this one was a stevens or savage

Now I'm thinking I need to hunt me down a 410 bolt action for the collection

I bought a lever action years ago. Useless gun that I sold to my buddy who has somewhere North of 60 of them guns. Been hunting with one since I was a tad and the remington pump is my go to goose gun with smokeless powder.

Years ago I negotiated with this guy who had a mossberg bolt action shotgun in every caliber, I was going to buy the whole collection but we couldn't come to terms on a price.
