Any thoughts on a bolt action version of a 4 bore? Would that be the most powerful bolt action rifle? More powerful than the 950 JDJ by my estimation with modern loads. 2000 grains at 2600 for nominal 4 bore performance. Cartridge would be based on the 14.5x114 Russian round. Built on a 50 BMG bolt action.

I am intrigued by your theories and wish to subscribe to your newsletter.

It seems theoretically possible but a sporting exception would be wise. Just needs about 15k of development costs but would be effing epic if you could make it look sporting. Perhaps a single shot BMG bolt action would be a good test mule.

What a pussy. He should try the my imaginary 4 bore bolt action.

I wouldn't want to carry it, much less shoot it.

Boomie,
a .950 is "close enough" to a 4 bore - he has a 4 bore falling block as well - 300ft/lbs is beyond even my once epic tolerance for recoil.. and he took even more, with it on the table, one handed, just eating the full recoil ..

Glad he’s not my neighbor….
