Mickey,

Glad you liked it. I figure anyone that appreciates big bores would enjoy watching the water fly!

The guy in the video above is the same one that posts as 470 Mbogo, shooting the cartridge he designed of the same name. The cartridge is a 416 Rigby necked up to .475 and improved. The loads in shot in the video are 500 gr Woodlieghs at 2500fps. You can check out his website at www.470mbogo.com for more info if you're interested.

Here is another video you might like. This one is not as exciting as the first. This time it is me shooting a 470 Mbogo at a paper plate at 25 yards. I have to admit that it was my first try "rapid firing" with a real big bore so I only tried 3 shots. I could use a little practice on the accuracy before trying the contest you described...I hit the plate all three times, but two of the shots were on the edge. Wouldn't quite cut it on the smaller target.

Canuck three shots

Cheers,
[Smile] Canuck

Canuck,
I though I would help out so your beer didn't get warm.

Hi Mickey,
Sechelt is just noth of Vancouver on the coast. You have to take a ferry from Horseshoe Bay in North Vancouver to the Langdale,Gibsons area. Sechelt is just a half hour drive from Gibsons.
