trying to test my memory against the intarwebs

Post #443,884 by boxley 1/24/24 12:27:29 AM 1/24/24 12:28:42 AM Reply	trying to test my memory against the intarwebs thinking about self defense again, remembering the british SAS used what was called "MayLay Loads" during their unpleasantness in Malaysia in the 50's. From what I remember it was a 12 gauge shotgun with the first shell being double "00" buckshot with the second shell being a slug etc down the 5 loads. Apparently the internet has not heard of such a thing.

Maybe the embedded references will lead to better results.
