olin patent to circumvent hunting regulations

[atilla]

Olin Corporation (which trades under the Winchester Ammunition brand) has just been granted a patent (#8161886) for a 12 gauge shotshell design that would be used in conjunction with a barrel insert in order to allow the firing of small-caliber bullets through a rifled barrel from a 12 gauge shotgun.

meh. not that exciting. I'd feel better about buying an NEF shotgun, and throwing a real rifle barrel on it, and claiming it was still a shotgun.
