You reload it! I have hunted Ellie, Buff and Hippo with my other 8 bore, all with reloaded ammo, using black powder and 1250 grain lead bullets at approx 1,400 fps.Originally Posted by JustinF

An eight gauge comes from one lb of lead divided into 8 equal projectiles so in theory 2 oz, this is 875 grains which would be the lightest "bullet" ie a round ball, although you can get hollow base bullets a similar weight. Bullets tend to start around 1100 and go up to 1,600 grains, these are sure to bring a tear to the eye of any critter that gets hit!
What about the critter hunter launching 1600 grains !? Or is that something that would be carried by those protecting the hunter?
And thanks for posting the pictures .Always nice to see another one of your collection. Before it becomes a down payment on a new collectible.

Selling a double to fund a unimog 406...... you're a man after my own heart.
Is it a doka or regular cab? Ag axles or fast axles? Doubles and unimogs. Things I've wanted since I was a kid

Awesome looking rifle; hope it finds a good new home.
how are the barrels for regulation? what yardage were they factory set for? I prefer 20 yards on barrels that big but might settle for another regulated at 52 yards if I have to
If you private message me and don't get a reply within 24 hours there is a good chance you've earned a spot on my ignore list

I have no idea what the factory regulation was. There is such a variety of bullet weights and styles that one could set her up to shoot how you want. She is a difficult gun to shoot tight groups with, due to her size and weight, I have had both barrels print in just under two inches but 4 was more normal at 50 yds. If I remember correctly moving closer made very little change. I think the limiting factor was me. I never had enough spare time to explore her full potential with different bullets and loads.
That is a beautiful Gun. I've never seen one like that before! And thats what I love about firearms. There is so much variety and tons of interesting things!
SPF, thank you. Now I can afford my new toy, an ex MOD Unimog 406, at least next year if it snows I will have a big truck.
