I would PAY to watch a video clip of you hitting a critter in the shoulder with that monster. | |||

Safarikid, Have you measured the velocity (fps) of the 4-bore missile yet-using the 2000 grain bullet?? Didn't some of the old hunters in Tanzania use 4-bores, in the black powder versions, in hunting. Must be only for stoppers due to the weight. At 26 lbs, that exceeds my comfort factor. Gives a whole new meaning to gun bearer!  Dak | |||

Velocity is 14-1500fps for a TKO of over 400!(600NE is 160!!)Yes,its Heavy,but manageable,barely! "That's not a knife..THIS is a KNIFE" ! | |||

Tom, have you loaded for it yet or are you using Ken's ammo? I'd be interested in swapping notes. Have you chronoed it yet? I'd love to know what those naval ordinance softs are doing! I know he quotes 112gn blue dot as top end, which must be brutal. Keep up the good work. Bob DRSS "If we're not supposed to eat animals, why are they made out of meat?" "PS.

Tom, I don't know how much you'd have to load it down (seems almost WRONG) on order to recover a bullet, but I would love to see just how big they get. Maybe the buff can stop a soft?!?

Tom, you jarred my memory and I found a 10yr old article in Black Powder Hunter where Ross S. shot an Aussie feral donkey in the shoulder with a pure lead round ball and recovered it in the opposite ham at over 2" diameter. That bodes well for your plans  Bob DRSS "If we're not supposed to eat animals, why are they made out of meat?" "PS.

If you are looking for some 4 Bore rounds I believe Kittery Trading Post, 207-439-2700 (ask for the reloading area) had about 10 yesterday. They were loaded with lead bullets.. Bob | |||
