Anybody want to try this round in a handgun? 2000 gr JSP bullet! I love the sound this round makes when he drops it down the tube.

Here are a couple of interesting articles on the 4-Bore, just in case someone wants to start planning that new custom handgun.

WOW What a canon!! They used an old black powder terminology for the weight of the bullet. 4 to the pound. Each bullet weights 4 ounces!!

Does anyone make a six shooter for it yet? That would be fun to shoot just to see what it would be like. I wonder how much one round costs. I suppose if I have to ask, I can't afford it.

think my doc would get upset if I got one?

I think anybodies Doc. would get upset if they knew their patient was shooting something like that.

How about a .50 BMG or a .600 Nitro Express revolver?

To bad the video won't come up, I would like to have seen that gun shoot.

I think the 4 bore would make an awesome brush gun for blacktails.

I can't get the 600 nitro encore video to come up either, I had the original website saved on my pc and it won't play there either. I can tell you it was intense, one guy held on too it but got backed up real good and the other guy lost it and almost lost his head as the gun knocked his glasses off and landed about 3 feet behind him.

I need to see that. Might have to spend sometime surfing. Has the video's of the mid easterns shooting a rifle been on here yet? He lost the rifle fell down and the rifle broke the window of the indoor range when it flew out of his hands. If I can find it I will post it if it hasn't been seen already.???

I havn't seen that one, definately post it if you find it.

Are you sure the 4 bore would be enough for BlackTail?

There wouldn't be much of a Blacktail left after shooting him with that cannon. I boiler roomed one with a .375HHmag once. The exit wound was not much bigger then the enterance hole. I don't think there was enough deer there to expand the 270gr. corelok.

Wapitirod see funny video's for the vid. of that guy falling down.

I wonder how much a 4 bore would expand

Go to pab1's second post, second link, down at the bottom there is a picture of 2 that were dug out of a cape buff. not much in the expandtion area.

With a one inch hole and a 2000 grain bullet, any expansion would just be icing on the cake. That things a sledge hammer!

shorter tracking jobs are always good

Aim for the head!

I'm not that good of a shot, that is why I need a bigger bullet.

4 Bore - that's a real big bore!

It looks like if you could hit the buff it would diffidently bring it down. I wonder what it would do to a tweet bird?

That's impressive!

Man That is impressive!! Just imagine it you fitted the bullet tip with some depleated uranium for our troops. Now that would be a handheld tank buster at short range. LOL<LOL

WOW! That is a hole! I wonder if it ran at all or just dropped?
The shock of being hit with that must be like a volcano blast.

I need one.

I was thinking the same thing. I have looked at that .72 cal. double muzzle loading rifle that is in the Cabelas catalog. I know it's not as big or bad but it would be fun!

shooting that thing must be about the same as getting kicked by a horse! And the ammo must be about $20 a pop! Very impressive non the less!

Ravenman,
Fantasic! What is the weight of the rifle? Who built it? Are you using blackpowder or smokeless? Thanks for the info.

500WE,
Sorry can give more informations about the gun and the loads. Got these pictures from a hunting buddy and thought to share with you all.
