I wasn't saying Doubleshot shouldn't use his gun for it's intended purpose. "It's a crime to leave a good duck or bird gun laying fallow"? Well that, or worse is exactly what's going to happen after someone beats the crap out of it with loads is was not designed to handle.
There are plenty of low pressure loads that will kill a coyote or fox and still leave the gun in sound shape to use another day.
Maybe the guys who restore and fly WWII aircraft should take their P51 Mustangs and Messerschmidts, load up the guns and cannon, and dogfight till they crash and burn instead of just flying around at air shows. After all, that was their intended purpose. Better yet, yank out the original gas engines and put a couple jet engines on their wings, because what they were designed to use isn't quite good enough. Then fly 'em till their wings and canopies peel off. Geez.
