With NEF. Plastic cases, roll crimped slug
in drillpress. 82gr IMR 4227 1650 fps, with 730gr, 78 gr 4227 with 800gr, 1600. Expansion on cases show little more pressure as full loads of 4759 and 600gr. Ignition perfect with small primers. Ejects cases fine. Burns clean. Got a GEHA bolt 12ga to put a heavier rifled barrel on to test. Ed

Tested 870 gr in NEF with our long
brass case with big primer.I have NEF with extra hammer spring for big primer. Got 2000 fps and still able to extract case. Would do little more, extractor needs to be wider and set up positive. Used 260gr of WC-860 and MagPro. Could use RL-22, Rl-25, Retumbo, etc. That's 7700 ft lbs.. I get 600 gr slug to 2300 plus in NEF, long case. so you can go light or heavy.Ed

More testing with 4227. Greg got little over 1500 fps in
3" plastic with 870 gr slug using 74-75 gr of 4227. I did the same. This compares to much lighter REM Buckhammer slug with more speed. Almost all the way through 5 ft bundle hardwood boards. I have Mossy 695 as well as GEHA 12 gauge to put heavy rifled barrels on. And my 87. Will be checking Mossy 395 for a guy who wants to put on a heavy barrel. Ed

Here is pic of 695 bolt action
Mossberg with dinky barrel and the heavy long rifled barrel for it. It has a recoil plate like Rem/Sav, and two rear bolt lugs..Ed

Read a report that H & H is going to
make Paradox rifle/shotguns guns again.Big bore mania is catching on.Be able to use shot and slugs, and with newer alloy barrels, they'd be hairy like the guns Rob and I have set up. Ed

That's good news.
For rich people. But I'd have to mortgage my house and sell a kidney to be able to afford a Holland & Holland double.

I tested in NEF 3' cases, Alliant 2400 with
small primers, Fired ok at 75 deg but when case cooled there was majority of misfires and squib loads. Don't reccomend it, not reliable. Here is picture of Mauser 12ga bolt action GEHA with a heavy barrel like I will put on it Make a good slug gun.Ed

Tested 3.5" plastic cases in NEF, small
primers. My chamber is long for our long brass case, so they work fine..... 600 gr slug, 105 gr of IMR 4227, got 2100. Same slug, 180 gr, 7383 surplus, got 2100 fps. That's 5800 ft lbs from 12ga plastic shotgun cases.Ed

Along with testing loads in 3.5" plastic, later tested same loads
in 3" RMC brass cases; and with 600gr slug, same wt 4227 and 7383 surplus powders got same 2100 fps.I got a MEC Super Sizer coming to size base of plastic and RMC cases. Both are hard to resize with regular die, but this will save time and allow many more firings of the cases.Just got 3.5" plastic for dime each, and this sizer will allow as many firings as the RMC brass.Ed

What's with all of the yelling TPAW?
How about you redirect some of that anger towards the person holding the gun to your head making you read this thread? There are some of use who have been following the evolution of this since the beginning and who are still interested in future developments. In other words, shut up and go away.

A lot of research with different guns, and equipment is
still being done, and planned. We just want to share. A bullet fella contacted me and he will make 750gr jacketed 12ga slugs for buck and a half. He uses Corbin equipment, and that is a very great price as others have quoted almost 50% more. Minimum order 500 bullets.He has to get couple pieces of punch and die tooling to make them .729" to fit most rifled barrels, and he will get tooling if we pay half, which is 300 bucks. I want to find 10 guys to put in 30 each plus order 50 or a hundred and we have him get tooling ordered. Contact me so I can see how many want to get in on the deal.Then after I tally everyone I will get back to you for the funds for dies for you to send the them to him..Here is pic of a sizer we got that does plastic cases back to factory specs in few seconds and allows 3 times more reloads. It will also do the RMC cases I have. No more cases sticking in dies, or spending 5 min to get them sized only half assed.ED.

Here is the Enfield I reamed out to feed 12 gauge and BMG
size cases. I added two rear bolt locking lugs, one the huge bolt handle and another added that locks in rear bridge. The front lugs still contact on their top 40 %. This is concept from earlier shown Mauser shotgun conversions, where they were made from 98 Mausers, giving a bolt action 12ga.This one is chambered for my belted 700H 3.25" case, as a load developement test gun. Loads up to 825 gr at 2500.

It is the 8GA From Hell, a real cartridge. 4.3 inch long
brass case. 8 ga shorter plastic case, plan on in same chamber. Looking now for guns or actions and barrels. I make it from 20mm Suzy brass(20mm Hispano Suiza), by putting on a 8ga size rim and reshaping like we did 12GA FH....Ed
