Did you know? (colored hulls)

[CHS]

I go out trap shooting to triple-b's all the time and I bring two 870's with me each time. One in 20ga (my girlfriends) and one in 12ga (mine).

We also bring 12 and 20ga ammo with us, in the same container.

I can now tell 12 and 20 apart in my sleep with gloves on

And just to add a little more to the equation, I'm soon getting a 20ga 870 for MYSELF!

. Especially when the shooter is a Navy SEAL.

man thats one sorry azz navy SEAL. Either a paper pusing SEAL or a Bulls**t SEAL. its pretty funny that everyone I meet who was in the military was a Ranger Seal Recon Green beanie etc. Everyone was high speed low drag. Of course they all weigh in at 360 LBS or more can barely walk up a hill without stopping and cant shoot for s**t.

if you cant tell the difference between a 20 ga and a 12 ga just by feel and looking when you feed it in the tube or barrel and you see it doesnt fit right you probably should put the gun down and go kick your own *** before isomeone else does like ( rightfully so) a range officer. As for the colors i dont go by that. Ive purchased yellow 12 ga rounds. I dont think there is a color code for shotgun rounds and if there actually is one I never saw it. The closest I saw was a chart for different size loads for shotguns

Not saying everyone knows everything but I would expect a guy who is ( supposedly) a SEAL to know WTF he is doing.

As for me I use my own ammo and if someone gives me a box yeah i check it.I usually look at the stamped ga # on the bottom of the shell
I actually saw a guy at a range pump in a 20 ga round and then a 12 ga. looked like the 20 ga got mixed in with the 12 ga. the 20 ga went in the barrel and didnt fire. he cocked it again with a 12 ga round and blew the barrel. Looked like a cartoon gun when he was done.
I had a pic of it but I lost it

I remember being taught that in hunters safety over twenty years ago.

Yep, I know all about the various colors available in shotshells.

I have 20 gauge paper and plastic hulls in Green that are 20 gauge. I also have some very olf Red Plastic 20 gauge shells. Most of the current ones made are Yellow though.

I also have green and red 16 gauge hulls.

For 12 gauge, I have all colors of the rainbow including clear.

28 and .410 hulls can be red, blue, green, and red. But those are obvious when you try to put them into a 12. They generally slide right through the barrel and out the muzzle.
