12GA Rifle From Hell

I love to see what a Hornady SST plastic tip 300 grain 12 gauge slug could do out of that cartridge. Maybe like 4000 fps and around 10,000 lbs of energy. That should be quite flat shooting. I read of someone that used the regular SST loading from hornady and stated he got 2 inch groups at 100 yards. The extra speed may or may not help accuracy.
 
We got a 3/4 oz or 327 gr Barnes sabot up to 3900.
A long 22cal fletchette would work in smoothbore like
their big brothers in M60.Ed.
 
Those libs are crafty devils sometimes. If they tried to attack a new caliber cartridge they try and avoid pitfalls There was too few .50 BMG owners in California to stop the .50 BMG ban they passed.

Thats because they are a bunch of Comunists pinko's.

Dude thats an awesome rifle congrats. You should pitch that to Barret maybe they would make it a production piece. Then I could own one too!:)
 
Whitefeather--The costs of it in a Barrett is
twice what you could do it in that beautiful
Borchardt falling block.. Being rimmed the falling block,
and break actions are what we designed it for.Ed.
 
Here is picture of the Savage bolt holding case,and top lug is up toward camera in pic. Lower left lug was extended
to hold shell along with the extractor on the
opposite side and the top lug extension. .Lower right lug is opposite also.Ed

Looks like you turned those cases on a lathe.....

How well do they fit in standard reloading presses?

tINY--The only lathe work was putting rims on
the bmg cases. They do look nice don't they.
And then we fireformed them out straight.
They are too long for regular press, we use
an Ammomaster with BMG rods and top for 1.5 inch
dies. Got some 1.5 in Hollywood 12ga dies.Ed.
 
tINY--It took a little experimenting to get it
figured out to put rim on easy and we still didn't
know well rim would take the forces of reloading
and extraction after firing, until we built guns and
tried them out.And one of my cases fired 33 times,
and Rob's a fairly high pressures and no problems,
makes us very pleased with results..of course the secret
is that we get huge power, without super high pressures that
makes cases want to stick and extract hard.Cases
kinda fall out after firing.Ed.
 
A lot of 12ga guns are marked 12ga and the length 2 3/4,
3, 3 1/2 on the barrel, so I recommend and did mine
as 12 GA 3 3/4 FH..I found a long plastic shotcup
that holds 2 oz of buckshot and 2.5 oz of bird shot.
Try it out in a couple weeks.Just fill case 60%
with my slow powder, set in shotcup, pour in shot, and put
a 12ga wad on top, as they fit tight.Using cup so
that shot won't lead the rifling.Ed.

Cobray--The cartridge was Rob's idea, and he named it.
I just helped figure out how to do it. I have hairier
wildcat 700HE(Hubel Express) that I will have going soon,
hopefully make me half as famous as Elmer.Ed.
 
Fired a shotcup full of 18 buckshot,and used a 16ga wad
over shot in the cup.Case 2/3 full of powder.With
rifling and wad had a 3 ft pattern at 25 ft, good redneck
defense load.Your a redneck when your bigbore guns
are singleshot and your safari car is double
barreled...Ed.

Dude, thats an awesome project. :eek:

I've got a question, whats the twist rate on the barrel?

Have you had any problems shooting the vastly different bullet weights out of the same barrel? :confused:
 
CypherNinja--Twist is 1 to 20 and will stabilize
real heavy(1500gr plus) bullets.The different bullets
and/or sabots would have to be sighted in individually.
If I hunt deer,hogs, or bear I sight it for the 730gr
hard cast Dixie slugs at 2400 fps. Sabots are good but
hard to get and cost more.If used with shot I get
smooth barrel.Ed.
 
lol Any shot with that thing is a kill shot! Just aim it in the deer's general direction! It may have already been asked, but what's the recoil like on that bad boy?
