Wow!
Very impressive to eyeball and handle. Heavy artillery!
A 1.325"-caliber precision half-pound brass bullet!
And a tumbler-sized brass case prettier than any other cartridge case ever, and only slightly less than a half-pound itself!
A loaded cartridge will be well over a pound.
To die for in cartridge collecting.
And it might actually kill on both ends of the firearm. BOOM

He said something about 20 lbs but the consumer version is about 26 lbs loaded ..... weight is highly desirable when launching 3500 grain slugs with 700 grains of FFFG ... Big Grin

Coming from a guy who mounts his guns on wheels that's quite complimentary ... Big Grin

If I survive the first trip to the range I'll be bringing it to Houston for you guys to "contemplate" ... rotflmo

I am currently building a 2 bore boxlock Muzzleloader. I proofed the barreled action a couple days ago and shot video of it. Thought you all might like to see it. The proof load was 1000grs of FFg with 2 balls tightly patched. Here's a link to the video:

In the video you will see a white barrel with a steel plate behind it on the right, and then about 10 feet to the left of the white barrel is the barreled action strapped to a railroad tie. The shot is about 14 seconds in to the video. If you would like to read up on the build and see the pictures of the aftermath of the proof shot, you can go to the documentation of this build here: 2 Bore Boxlock Project

Enjoy

Colin

Not yet Ed ... Shouldn't be much longer just waiting on a part that we couldn't make here.

Remember those Infiniti commercials back in the day of the rocks and trees ..??
