I may well be wrong on this, but was of the impression the reason behind these industrial shells construction was so they "Would not" fit a regular 8ga shotgun. Pressures may well be too high for most. Also, "IF" the machinist was knowledgeable enough about guns to know this, I also would call him a "Bad Machinist" for making the mod. No one should do work which could prove to be hazardous. I suspect he simply didn't realize the difference & figured the owner knew what he wanted & did the work.

No point in chamber sleeving it back to anything, since it now is suitable for industrial empties. I'd like to own it just because it is big, cheap, fluid steel and can be loaded with cheap empties that can be tossed since they didn't require any modification to load. I have no curiousity about whether a sporting shotgun will withstand an industrial round. I will experiment with factory loaded industrial rounds when I am able to add a kiln gun to my collection. Does anyone have any idea how that could be accomplished? Thanks to anyone who can help me buy a kiln gun.

Being a frugal bugger (some might mistake for cheap) I made up a few steel bases for 10 guage shells that allow me to reform them into 8 guage. The steel part is 8 guage on the outside and about 3/4" long and after an empty 10 g plastic shell is put in it, I take a metal expander heated in boiling water to stretch the body of the shell to 8 guage dimensions.
I had some paper kiln gun shells but they only last about 2 or 3 shots before powder is leaking out between the brass and the paper. If ever I get some spare time, I intend to make up enough steel bases to shoot a round of skeet with the gun.
cheers Doug

What, you don't have any plastic eight gauge empties? They are common as nails today. I have some papers from the old days, but next batch I load will be plastic, if I ever load any more.

Doug,
How many plastic industrial 8's do you need. It takes some time as I only visit that customer 2-3 times a year but the last time I was there they gave me over 1000 hulls. I think I sent them all to 8ga enthusiasts but I may have a couple of hundred left.

Oops, you're in Canada. That may make it more difficult to get them to you.

There should be no problem shipping to Canada,just put them in a zip lock bag then pack them in a box,send through the mail ,and mark contents as " Empty Hulls " . They should get to Doug within 5 days.
