5 mm.

5 mm?

Everything is bigger in Texas, I've heard. Y'all got some KICKASS quail
down there!

somewhere in the land where buckshot doesn't usually come out until
something truly fierce......like squirrels or bunnies.......does.

Interesting. If Blanchard actually said that, I'd wonder if it isn't
two pellets (5 mm would be about 2 7 1/2s).

And 5mm wouldn't be buckshot, it'd be more like a BB or BBB...I figured
a old Daisy hand such as yerself would know that...have you ever even
seen a Sheridan Blue/Silver Streak?
