BPBB, That an awesome looking gun. What are the ballistics of the loads you shoot and the weight of the rifle. It looks like 16 or 17 lbs. It looks real big. Must be a hoot. 470 Mbogo
i will post some in depth pictures on saturday i have the day off and i will have plent of time to get you lots of close ups.
oh buy the way i will have some pics of my 75 caliber custom german jager rifle as well.
i use 500grs of fg black powder a .018 thick pillow ticking patch and a home made wool wounder wad. it shoots same hole 4 shot groups at 50 yards all day long. recoil is on the rough side but i have learnd to handle it quite well.
that picture was taken 6 monthes ago i have but on alittle beef since then i have been working out a fair amount
heres 1 of the 75 jager its a crap pic but i will do better

BPBB: 500gr. projectile in a 2-bore?
Wouldn't that be shaped like a nickel?

ROFL!!!!!
Let's see. I think that little load gives you something like 400 foot pounds of recoil. Makes a Weatherby, or a BMG improved with a 1200 grain bullet look like a pop gun. Bullet weight, and diameter RULE!!! Brits learned this long ago, with cannons, and nitro expresses, on large game.
Funny, even though a 42 Pound round ball might only be going 1200 fps, do you think it did any damage when it hit something???
Overkill, get a life and a brain.
A 2 bore is way beyond the rules of ballistics, according to Roy WBY.
Hats off to anyone that can shoot a 2 bore, and hit anything.

Only 500 grains of BP? I have a brown bess that is of course 75 cal. That 11ish gauge shotgun is enough for me. Tell you what, my friend is originally from Niagra Falls NY. He goes back quite a bit. We're going to hopefully go salmon fishing before too long. I'll come over and visit you, I want to see this beast in person.
OHHHHH!!!!!!!, 500 gairns of f,Big you got me thinking agian. Shot the 8 bore this morning,300 grains 2f,1100 grain round ball,pilloe tick .15 patch and a wool over powder wad soak in bees wax. Think i'll hold off on the 2 bore
