ive heard of it , I know a guy who has one. shells are very hard to find you should look on www.gunbroker.com someone might have some on there, just if you find some buy alot of it you never know when you will be able to find more.

Looking around I fond the link above with a reference to a 24 gauge.
I must admit I'd never heard of it before

Let's see, 24ga...haven't heard of that one in a looong time.

8 ga
10 ga
12 ga
16 ga
18 ga
20 ga
24 ga
28 ga
then the odd ball .410 which is actually it's caliber and not a gauge.

Did I miss any or get any wrong? I think there were some bigger than the 8 ga that were strictly comercial bird hunting guns in the 19th Century.

No, your not crazy. But I'll bet when you find that ammo it's gonna cost quite a bit compared to even 16 ga ammo. But don't give up hope, there's gotta be someone out there with that ammo.
