Would be nice to have. 12 bore is the largest for waterfowl in SAust.

What would it have originally be used for? British waterfowl in the marshes?

In W.W.GREENER'S THE GUN and it's Development" there is a picture in the rifle section of 8 shots on a card, IIRC at 50 yards with a Smoothbore 8 bore using round balls. It is in the rifle section, I assume due to African or Indian usage on dangerous game.
