That's the first time I've heard that one. It says right on the barrel that it is a 45 long colt or .410 shotgun. I never knew of anyone around here getting busted for hunting with theirs.
Some WCO's are aware of it, some aren't.
Legally though rifled .45LC/.410 guns are .45 caliber rifles/handguns and the restriction applies to the gun more so than the ammo.
There is rumor that the PAGC issued a revised Title 58 § 141.22.a.5 Regulatory Code to address such guns, and allow them when loaded with "fine shot" within the last 3 years,
but the PA Codes website does not reflect such changes and no-one can provide an approved copy.
