I have two 12 gauge O/U shotguns, one is a skeet trap combo with two barrels. There was a shell range size recommendation. I don’t recall what it was. Interesting.
Well, Had A MRI Today

I always think whatever is chambered is lethal (even snap-caps, for proper safe attitude); some more so than others. None of it is to be dismissed out of hand.
You can run ‘em no problem. Shell size probably states a “no larger than” parameter. A lot of chambers can’t take 3”- 3 1/2” magnum.
Correction- 1.75" and 2.25".
Heading in for a checkup today! Going to get new instructions on what I’m allowed to do. Tomorrow will have been six weeks from my surgery. Basically I’ve slept with cats and hopefully will now slowly be able to resume some activities.
Good luck and continue to heal. 
You'll be back at busting broncs in no time

Well I am sure the cats did not mind that you slept with them
Slipping over in garage would be excitement in my life.
Several months ago, saw my general practitioner because of a knee issue. Sent me for a urgent x-ray (two weeks wait). That led to another wait for an MRI (about four weeks). Then waited another few weeks to get a letter stating I've been put in a five-months wait list from date of letter for a consultation in an orthopedic department. Then, I'll go in another wait list for surgery. It's said people are now waiting one to two years for surgery, that might not be the case.
For 59 years I'd never kickstarted a Triumph. A Triumph had never kicked me. Two years after I did start kicking a Triumph, and it occasionally kicked me, my right knee's gone funny. Might be a coincidence of course.
Getting older isn't for chickens.
That’s a long wait. Finland has a national healthcare system with a private option if you don’t want to wait. Do y’all that option as well?
Here in the states the options are all private for most people.
So, now I can lift tea cups and practice without my sling brace! I think I’ll wear it going out and driving for a bit longer. Just to remind me not to overdo.
Freedom! LoL !
Freedom! LoL !
I could pay to be seen by the exact same surgeon, queue jumping low-income pensioners. I'll wait.
I can still walk and cycle. If I can't kickstart the motorbike it's not my knee, it's general ineptitude.
Besides, prising my wallet open isn't easy.
I’d do the same if there was no pressing reason.
Socialized medicine sucks.
I believe so...arthritis in the knees develop for the simplest of reasons, sometimes, because that is your dominant side that you use most and on which you put most of your weight.
Good news is, MRI showed no arthritis. Something's got torn, and there's a bulge causing problems.
It's saved my life twice. A massive motorcycle crash, including broken pelvis. And extremely late diagnosis of hiv.
Saved the life of my son and his mother.
Had some lesser emergency admittances to hospital.
My son is now very ill and gets good consistent care.
Other than plain facts, there's something no one would understand outside of the UK. There's a compassion in the NHS. That'll be greeted with 'group hug' jeer, no doubt. Divorcing care and money has intangible benefits. The NHS is mostly universally embraced by people of all political leanings, it's not a left wing thing, again something people in a much more individual-first society won't understand.
What's your experience of a publicly funded healthcare system?
