What powder you planning on using, and how many pounds will it take?
Looks like a good zombie cartridge!!

It looks like a shell for an old Krupp mountain gun. What is it?

Actually it's Japanese. I dont know for sure, but it may be for those little field guns they liked to drag around.
When not trying to reload them, I use them for brushes, they have heavy bases so dont fall over!

Sometimes you gotta go big or go home.

I know the ones. There were lots of them on display on bases throughout the Pacific rim.

I don't want to be behind it when it goes off. I could only afford to load it about once a year for a double rifle.

A bit recoil shy? I understand. Dont worry, I figured about 14,000 grains of a slow burning powder should keep it mild enough to shoulder. :)

Looks like one of those rounds that we West Texans use for Prairie Dogs
Yep, everythings bigger in Texas :)

Whoa, I'm gonna need a big ol' mess of dumplings to go with one of them squirrels. What's the bag limit, all you got the guts to try to kill?
Back to the double rifle, you put two of those bullets in two of those cases (one each of course) over two pounds of powder each and then are able to shoulder it? Recoil ain't gonna be a problem, bro.

Dear colleagues,
Please remember that tranter shot a mouse with a 38. He ain't gonna be packing light when he goes after zombie squirrel. Maybe he is going a bit 'over the top' as our Brit friends sometimes say, but I aggree that too much gun is never the problem that not enough gun can be. Splatter 'em dude and be done with it.

You know, that round would be great for prairie dog shooting. No need to wait for them to come out of the holes...
