.....I just joined your forum. This is my first post. There is so much material here that it is rather intimidating.

.....Anyway, I remember browsing sometime back. Somewhere on one of the "12 Gauge From Hell" threads they mentioned briefly that someone had worked up some parallel cartridges: 10 Gauge From Hell(I think); 20 Gauge From Hell; 28 Gauge From Hell--even a .410 From Hell (once again, I think...)

.....I'm not getting anywhere with the search feature. At the moment I'm most Interested in the 28 Gauge Variant.Could someone direct me to the appropriate thread?

.....Thanks.

Is this what you were thinking about?

Search on this site is labled "find".

This is an incredible place to read and learn about the BIG guns. The guns that I never see at the range.

.410 from hell would be similar to a 45-100 no?

.410 would be .410.......

RVM45- I developed the 28GA FH using a 3.25"
long brass case, 54cal muzzle loading bullets,
about 400gr, and 550 gr .550 cal jacketed,
and a rifled .550 cal barrel. It's on a bolt
action Enfield. 28 ga and .550 same diameter.
Use slow rifle powders. And chamber still
fires shorter plastic 28ga cases. You get
turned cases at RMC. We are checking on other
28ga guns that maybe we can lengthen chamber
and use, as some of the slugs are hollowbase and would work in smoothbore. Ed

hubel458--I would like to be able to turn a fairly normal 28 Gauge Double Barreled shotgun loaded with .55 Caliber lead balls; into an adequate 75 yard deer Gun.

I have seen .55 Caliber 28 Gauge balls; and special minimal deformation shotcups offered for sale. I'm figuring a .55 Caliber ball at shotgun velocity(say 1200fps?); and Double Barreled accuracy ough to be good out to 50 yards or so.

I had hopes that rifled choke inserts and 3 1/4" all brass shotgun shells ought to get me comfortably into the 75 yard range--good enough for me.

(I've also wondered why they don't make a 3 1/4" 28 Gauge Magnum. Granted that much of the 28's appeal is its square shot columns; there's bound to be times that more is better--even if it does lengthen the shot column.

Well anyway, having the chamber bored out to 3 1/4"; and having brass 3 1/4" shells at hand; would allow experimenting with Magnum 28s too.

Is any of that even remotely possible?

I mean, turning the 28 into an elephant Gun is cool; if that's what you want to do, but I'd just like a small; light; Doublr Barreled Deer Rifle.

Oh, and thanks everyone for the liks.

Yes it is doable. The 28ga ball and plastic cup
that Ballistic Products has isn'r real heavy.
The 400 gr 54cal slugs be much better, just load
them down to 12-1400, as long as it is reloading
proposition and at 1200 pressures would be ok
for medium weight barrels. Ed
