How is the jacket making business coming? Up and going good yet?

Paradox is a rare topic in my reading. I have seen a couple articles in old Gun Digest Annuals. As I understand things, these where big in Africa in the late 1800s. Big lead bullets you could use out of a shotgun on larger animals. Like hunting grizzlies with a 12 gauge slug. Not the best but alot better than nothing or your hands... Some shotguns came with a bit of rifling in the last inches of the barrel behind the muzzle and claimed to get these slugs turning (for better accuracy) ... luck.

Butch,  See 1990 Gun Digest, page 154-160. This item by Mr Howard French covers the "Paradox" very well. In short, it seems that todays rifled barreled shotguns using off-the-shelf slugs could very well be called "Paradox guns".
