Need has nothing to do with desire; and regardless how much one pays for his "toys", they all get a little boring after the "new" wears off. Time to find a new interest before you get too old to enjoy; so get that 24 gauge and a sister 32 gauge to compliment your fine tastes. Heck fire, I surely would! As a matter of fact, I've already purchased a box of 24 gauge Fiocchi and two boxes of 32 gauge for that eventful day when I get my chance. I actually have a 32 gauge H & R single shot dart gun, but the chamber of that gun is too short for a 2 1/2" shell. Brother Tom Martin will address that issue at some point, as I don't anticipate ever having to dart an angry bull or bear.
