Re: Hollis 12bore rifle - Test results!

Daryl,

This was custom-made out of a chunk of OHNS steel and first roughed out on a VMC and then final dimensions were done on an EDM setup, it throws slugs without any hangups and they drop at .735" and weigh 660gr in pure lead, havent tried WW alloy so dont know the weight they will drop at. I had this crazy idea thanks to a member on the CastBoolits forum (Turbo1889) he had posted various scaled up drawings of the Lyman Sabot Slug in a 12ga, 16ga, 10ga and so on. I had always wanted a slug that would be pretty devastating within 100yards and I think this hunk of lead is just the ticket, the driving bands were designed to be parallel, which means you can load this one the other way around too and that will get any hog's attention!!

I was supposed to send a few of these to David Commens for him to try out in his Greener bore gun, I will get around to doing that soon enough.

This is the thread http://castboolits.gunloads.com/showthread.php?189654-Full-bore-Lyman-Sabot-slug-mold!!
