    I really believe the "not intended for airguns" is simply an attempt to protect the clearly very lucrative airgun ammo business?

    I do see on Hornady site that industry standards for buckshot is the .006" and this buckshot maker says they are tighter than industry. Isn't that close enough given my Haenel 28 is bigger bored than most 22s? And I'm just plinking not trying to win a Olympic event.

    Bet you they won't give me a sample cause they know I will be using it in a manner it was not intended for and they won't want the liability? This is the way the world works now, hope I'm wrong.
