We call it a Paradox gun. Using the word gun denotes
a cannon like quality.In a little while I will have a bunch 12ga rim pieces to supply those who can tke them and thread the case themselves.Ed

Being some guns need to much work
to fire bmg primers, it easier to do the following with adapter bushings. Here is picture of cases for primer comparisons.1st is regular bmg primer. 2nd is adapted to a shotgun primer. 3rd is adapted to large rifle primer. Of the 2 adaptations, large rifle is easier to do, just ream out pocket, thread in adapter, but adapting shotgun primer you have to deepen the original primer pocket a little, then thread and screw in a bushing.These two primers give about 100 fps less than bmg primer.Ed.

Ed, I know you've heard it before, but it bears repeating:

I always wondered about the over 50 cal rule and shotgun slugs. You have blurred that even more in my mind. I love that "gun" -tINY |

Shot savage with 600 gr at 3250. That case
needed a little resizing on base, getting pressures up around 40k. Cases still extract and Savage is ok, just bellers harder. Like standing next to an 88.Ed

4 Bore?
Did you say you were also planning a 4Bore in the future. I remember seeing a 4ga shotgun in an old general store when I was very small. I will never forget how HUGE that thing looked. I really like your 12ga project and would absolutely LOVE to see you do a 4ga.

Been asked about 3 inch versions of our case. I don't have
any to spare. Just the few I am testing NEF with. But box of ten is only $60 plus shipping from Rocky Mtn Cartridge, with thick bases and set up for 3 inch chambers.Ed

Shot NEF with the RL-25 load, 600 gr.Got 3
shots in 4 inches at 50 yds, with aperture sights and my bad eyes.Got barrel extension made and will get it on in next couple weeks. NEF and Original Sav barrel have same twist and grooves, so I am putting heavy part of left over barrel to good use.I hate shorty barrels.Ed

We got recoil now-Got a 1050 gr
Bridger over 2200 fps in the Savage. I took the hollow base 750 gr Bridgers made for me, and wedged in .500 caliber slugs(I took out of 12ga sabot)in the base. Added 300 gr. I was going to melt lead and put in, but this was easier about 5 seconds, after 15 seconds shortening nose on grinder of .500 slug.Ed

Compared to this mines pussycat.
Rob shot a few 1000 grain Bridgers at 3250 fps and he said he couldn't go any higher as recoil was "severe". His Borchardt is 24 lbs, and can take any pressure you could load for it and still hang on. Cartridges of this size really gets the juices flowing at over 23,000 ft lbs..Ed

So, do you guys actually try to hit something, or just go for bragging rights? Who can take the most recoil? -tINY |

Rob can put shots all about touching at 50 yds with his.
We just do this for fun. Rob will hunt with his in Africa, I plan on taking mine to the big bore club shoots around the country.Ed
