I watched that video. Wow!!! I thought it was a joke right up until he shot it. Do you think anyone actually has hunted with that cartridge? No way I'd ever shot that thing.

They shot elephants with 4 bore rifles and black powder in the 1800's. I can't remember where the guy lives that makes those things. Sounded like so far he has only built 4.

Was the one in video shooting black powder? Didn't look like there was that much smoke

No. These guns are shooting smokeless and a lot more energy than the old 4 bores. i seriously doubt there are any SAAMI specs on them and brass has to be custom made. Probably bullet molds too.

If the 50 blowing up didn't kill him he has to go bigger. I don't see that being useful for me. Has to be nfa as a destructive device and still won't penetrate steel like a ap .50 cal.

Not the biggest gun ever, maybe currently being made but they also made a 2 bore back in the day, and if you have the cash can still have one made, and this one is a double Duce

I skipped ahead to the shooting. Interesting but zero interest here in trying one!

I believe that Ron Gilsan (tastes like chicken) has made a couple of four bore muzzle loaders.

I have shoot a couple elephant guns. The first time it was a double rifle, hurt pretty bad. was not expecting that much recoil. second time, a 375 R.U.M. I used better form. about 20 rounds in all. left me sore but not awful. I dont think good form would help a lot with that one loaded to potential.

Is that Bocos trapline gun ???

I have no idea why they have two barrels on that thing. ya would thing that having fired it once, pick yourself up from the floor, then sweep up for tooth fillings it out put folks of from pulling that trigger a second time
