We are always looking for way to shoot 8 and 10s using easy to get components,cheap, without buying loaded rounds for big bucks, if available at all. In 8ga falling block, plastic case got 930gr hollowbase slug to 2300, It is a slug for 10 ga that we expanded base a little to fit tight in 8ga wadcup...

Some more slug experimenting and developement. Here are pictures of the full bore Lee Key Slug we had a guy cast. He took Lee Key mold and machined it out to cast a .729" full bore slug. The original Lee mold makes slugs smaller diameter, so that they fit in a 12ga wadcup. Slugs are hard cast alloy ...

Some more stuff from the old days--- First is picture sectioned Explora case and slug, showing how they kept weight down so that it could be stepped up in speed in older doubles, that didn't have real heavy barrels. These guns had short section of rifling at the end of the barrel or shallow rifling....

What we are doing in getting more power from shotgun calibers isn't super new or completely novel, most just modernizing and improving older ideas.. In the early days; in my Greener's book he states that gun with a rifled choke section of the barrel, called 12ga paradox shotgun/rifles, with slugs, h...

Some more gun info. Here is picture of a nice, large diameter action a fellow built, for big bore use.Nice beautiful machine work, He put a 700 short case in it. He called it 700WTF. It would do 12ga, 16ga, 20 ga, etc. Second is the 8 bore we just made on falling block. It is chambered for now for t...

Some more gun info about what others around the world are doing with big bores. First is a 4bore Tula pump gun, made in Russia. A few guys in the US have them. They are smoothbore and .938" bore. They used a short 3" long plastic case, and we helped some of the owners get a run of brass cases by Roc...

Quite a few have wanted doubles in our 12GA long case. Rob is doing one on a big 10ga Zabala double,with Greener crossbolt lock. He is replacing 10ga barrels with heavy 12ga rifled barrels, mono-blocked into the 10ga breaches by threading them into the breach sections. First,2nd,3rd pictures. He is ...

Videos --Youtube-- blowing up 6gal pail of water -"Grandpa's Cannon" "Grandpa's First Shot" 12ga FH -- 610gr HP at 2800-3000. We get asked about legality and whether these big cartridges are DDs. First of all; all shotgun calibers over 50cal are exempt from being classified as DDs under Title 18 GCA...

More history of firsts, in our 12ga FH and big bore work. The first gun of mine to have this case was my Savage 210 in first picture with a regular style heavy stock. Later changed to thumbhole stock. I changed barrel to heavy bull barrel and chambered it for the 12ga FH 3.85" long case. Second pict...
