[QUOTE="goldtrapper, post: 589293, member: 13646"] In Australia prior to the 60's there was not the range of firearms out there to be used. The humble shotgun and .22 were the most commonly found and every farmer and a fair few townies would have had one of each. So Shotguns being good at killing a vast range of game with various size shot from 12's to AA's would have been mainly used with the .22 being used a lot for rabbits. But people still had to pay for ammunition. They could reload their own shot shells way cheaper than nowdays where it can cost more to reload shells than buy them. [/QUOTE]
