You know those big guns are like crack cocaine, the more you use them the smaller your nuts become! 
Just kidding SafariKid, I'd like to see some pictures as well, especially the ones where you are in full recoil!
Actually, it's the brain that suffers the most - before and after the shot......

Moose-HunterI would PAY to watch a video clip of you hitting a critter in the shoulder with that monster.

dakota45056Safarikid,
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!

SAFARIKIDVelocity is 14-1500fps for a TKO of over 400!(600NE is 160!!)Yes,its Heavy,but manageable,barely!

Omnivorous_BobTom, 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.

Omnivorous_BobTom, 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?!?

SAFARIKIDYour right,that would be a sin!I also hope to recover a soft from a buff,maybe I can line two of them critters up!

Omnivorous_BobTom, 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

RJMIf 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..
