Re: 12-bore shotguns, paradox, Explora, rifles

Holland 12 bore paradox guns were all in the 7lb range. For nitro loadings they were proofed for 28grs to 42grs of cordite. Each gun in addition to being regulated for conical, they were also patterned for shot.
Westley 12 bores followed suit. The super magnum explora had ballistics similar to a 12 or 13lb 12 bore rifle but were generally a 7.5 lb gun. Truly a gun capable for snipe to buffalo.
That is about what my SxS weighed and it kicked HARD with 7 drams & a light, 482gr. ball.
