I learned this when I was doing research for my revolutionary war re enactment activity

as far as those in the east using the " long rifle ", it was not 50 caliber but lighter due to the shortage of lead - 45 caliber or less

There is quite a lot of interesting history to be learned.

I learned something new this evening. There is a South Korean version of Godzilla!!!!! The monster's name is Yongary. I don't understand how I managed to miss this. Watching it now on Comet TV. Looks like Godzilla with a rhino horn.

Yes they are. In the states, some have even been converted to .410 shotguns.

Why would one do that?

Nope, I would definitely want to keep it chambered in the original .303
