. . . now grandpa killed a bunch of deer with his 3220 using lame factory loads bu he forgot to talk about the ones that ran off.
Lots of people in my grandpa's time used
whatever they had or could borrow.
It wasn't unusual that so-and-so was not
as well off as cousin joe, and would buy
a half a dozen shells at the dry goods store
in town that fit cousin joe's gun, and borrow
the gun to kill some meat, and give joe
the unused shells when the gun was
returned, or some other barter something
depending on what was available.
People having one or more guns for every
purpose like many do today was unimaginable.
Everybody was too poor
