Smooth bores were used by trick shooters to shoot those glass balls out of the air using shot rather than bullets or by anyone else that wanted to shoot a lot of lead shot.

As with/about sex, I’ve always been afraid to ask this question. Thanks for the obvious explanation. And just as with sex (45 years ago), this Winchester business is getting me into a lot of trouble!
