You look at a four bore double at SCI Reno, try to stilfe the involuntary flinch caused by you just looking at it, then think "I've got to get me one of those!"

You think: "if I get a good bullet mould I can shoot this thing five times as much per hundred dollar bill". Then you find out nobody stocks bullet moulds THAT big.

It will be there with me. I just need to get Steve Brooks to make me a mould that will regulate close at 50 yds so I can afford to shoot it!

Thanks for the asking

Ummmmmmmmm,

Those of you who were privileged to attend the first Hoot-n-Shoot will remember me holding up my 550 Gibbs and dropping a loaded 458 Lott round down the barrel; and having it slide thru and hit the ground.
Dat's Big!

That extra tenth of an inch is a good step up.

You know you are a big bore shooter when you start to use ounces instead of grains to refer to bullet weight.
