I didn't get to see the cartridge but I can imagine it is a real monster. They also had an 8-bore double...that thing was a real big boy, too. I can't imagine using any of those huge rifles. No way I could lug one around for any length of time. Guess that's why they had porters and gun bearers in those days.
Sure am looking forward to getting my Andrews shooting. Think I'll order some Woodleighs from Midway and some of the 300gr. .025" jackets from Hawk. It slugs at .408" so their bullets should be just right. Probably use both 4831 and RL15 to see which it likes best.
