old blackpowder guns

[Midnitemo]

yeah TL i fully agree with you on the ability to reload and, i have a Lee handpress and plans to aquire all the calibres of die sets that may fall into my hands post shtf(.38 9mm .223 .308 and especially .45lc and some cases/primers/propellants) a .410 is on my wishlist and i understand what your saying about 20 gauge being lighter more wieldy and still pretty hard hitting but it just doesn't compute for me , there not available to buy now in any great numbers and there almost never a bargain the ammo off the shelf is priced at a significant premium and lacks any great choices and availability is poor , they along with the other minor bores( 28 16 10 et al) account for less than 10 percent of shotguns/ammo in circulation...the only was is to take that financial hit when you buy the gun and be prepared to make your own ammo...not really an option to most preppers though.
