Talking to JD about the .620 in a 16" for the Pro Hunter...want to push heavies 1500!

Can it handle a 577 NE?
Perhaps the 577 case loaded to 20 gauge or .620"?

He has made several

I like the idea of the 577 case necked to .615 so you can use it like a shotgun or just use 20 gauge slugs for hunting/plinking. Cast some 1600 grain flat nose express train projectiles.

Wow now you talkin where does one find 1600 Green locomotive s?!

There are a few custom mold places that we can design a slug but the issue will be twist. I wonder where we can find a relatively fast twist 20 gauge barrel.

Got Cast700 grs at 1500 for 500 Smith from 16" Encore ...Cast 1050grs at .730 from 12ga 3" Encore 18"..1200fps+....
Guess I'm good.....LOL
Maybe a .585 Short Action Win 70 with 750s at 1800?
or .620 JDJ with 1050s at 1500 from 16" Encore? Life is too short for pop guns! ; )

Ed's 585 HE full length on a stubby Ruger #1 would be a strong consideration for me. Have a matching pair and a gun bearer.

LOL...Been there done that...But with a tad more horsepower !

Four bore par excellence
I like your style.
Love that rig he has and the bandolier

Tom, I never knew you were black!

Suprise Suprise ! Lol....Naaaa as it just the African sun gave me a Dark Tan!

I can't hang with ya Tom.

I don't have any rifle barrels for the Encore and my two biggest pistol length barrels are in 35 Whelen and 45-70.

might look into 610 GNR or 586 GNR Gary Reeder built a couple on #1 I know of. they use a 577 snider case...they should get you close to what you want to achive.

Yes, very close to complete and utter insanity! :-)
