Other then that, I believe that the only thing in existance is a dummy round.

We've had fun theorizing what it would do, I'd suggested a 2500 gr X bullet at 2500 fps. Would be just the thing for those pesky RV's that clog our Alaskan roads in the summer.

Last I heard, when Saeed finally got component bullets for the 700 NE, and they started adding more powder to the case, the motivation to bring the 1008 to fruition was somewhat diminished.

If you get the chance to target shoot on those RV and don't get them all send me the gun because they must all come straight to my town Yuma Az and get right under our skin for about 4-5 months. They are impossible to miss even fleeing at top speed is only about walking speed until someone is advertising a free lunch. RNS

I was wondering where those darn things migrate too ;-)

No offense to the canucks, but the most unnerving vehicle I got stuck behind this summer was a van with Canadian plates. Now, going 55 isn't that bad, but when its 55 kph, in a 55 mph zone, it kinda erks you.

Saeed- will this project go beyond the drawing board?

We are trying to get suitable actions and barrels for all sorts of crazy calibers Walter has worked out.

Right now he is too busy trying to find out what tricks we have in store for him in Africa.

We received some 12 caliber barrels the other day, and poor old Walter was stumped!

We told him they were blank barrels, and the hole was only to guide the drill.

He named these the "Dot" calibers!

We have also made a dummy of a cartridge which we hope to develop in the future.

The case is 9 1/4" long, and the diemeter of the bullet is 1.741".

Loaded round on the left is a 700 NE shown for size.

Here is pic of cases and 2000 gr bullets
with 20 mm we make it from.Far right is 06 for comparison.Ed

I found an old shooting mag the other day that had an article about a 4 bore in it made or commisioned by a Australian firm called Century arms, it was a break action single shot that sold for approx $50,000 Aus about ten years ago. The loaded rounds were made by Kynoch, awsome looking gun.
