Excellent!!

tip under 100 yards aim at the crotch to hit the chest with that length barrel

We use a cannon Ball Sinker Mold for it 3 oz 1" bore. His other one is .75 bore.

I would call that significant recoil. How much powder is he using?

glens67 · 01-23-2011, 10:20 PM

240 grains of FFG.

Ellephant gun! Hell, that's a CANNON. Make a cannister round with like 50 .44 round balls and let's see what it does at about 50 yds then

The only thing I would warn you about is that is called "Shooting from a Roadway" in Indiana...$50 fine AND you forfeit the firearm to the DNR....

Actually it is a parking lot at a drag strip that I work at. Place is infested with Whistle Pigs. Usually get around 60 of 70 a week with my 10-22. Some areas I can shoot the Remington 722 in .244 (6mm), mini-14 223, or Ruger #1 in 22-250
