    Did 8.1mm shot use to be SG ?

    Been trying to find what size 8.1mm lead shot is now , I thought it was SG but opened up a shell and they were near 9mm , is there a company still doing them but not 3" magnums ?
    a gun is just a tool how its used is dependant on the person behind the trigger .
    This is why constant restrictions on legal users will have no effect on the unlawfull use of guns or knives !

    If you're after 2 3/4" cartridges rather than shot for reloading Gamebore buffalo range might help.

    Yes I checked the English one , on your chart US 0 buck is 8.13 mm that would be ideal , so I assume Remington, Peters or Winchester if any can be found would all be 0 buckshot , I have tried to get the shot to reload but as I only want one box its just tracking it down .
    tried C&G as could collect at a show but they didn't have any .
