If I offended anyone with my on going rant about the use of bore I would like to apologize for the offence. For me it was a needed journey into to my own thinking and past. I realized from the journey that both gauge and bore are regularly missed used and that it doesn't really matter. That my irritation at the use of the term bore was from experiences from my past that had no relation to shotguns or shotgunning. Once I found my hidden dragon he was easily cast out. Thanks
