I use to have some 8 guage ammo around, but i guess it's long gone???

8 ga. use to be made along with 6 ga, 4 ga., and even a 2 guage. (commonly called "punt" guns) I've seen 8 guage guns long ago, but they were mainly used for comercial hunting. 2, 4, and 6 guage were mostly mounted on the front of a boat and fired into a flock of ducks or geese that were on the water.

You can own a bigger guage that 10 guage, but the hunting laws have banned anything bigger than 10 guage for sporting use.
