From reading Corbett again, I was listening to a couple audio books while the NE forums were down, such use would result in lots of wounded tigers. If one had a paradox, why wouldn't one use a ball or conical?

If H&H and WR didn't make any heavy 12-bore paradoxes, who did?

I think the lighter guns fit the mould better, shot, wing shooting, and medium to big game use.

I'd like Marrakai to chime in. He was looking for and acquired an actual paradox style vintage 12-bore. For actual use. I'd like to hear if it's had actual use, of both sorts. Ducks and geese, with the possibility of boar and buffalo?

In the age and anti gunner, anti hunting introduced steel shot, especially on wetlands, is it the final death of the paradox concept? I guess bismuth can still be used. I can get only 4 shot, 12 gauge bismuth loaded shells. At a price ... No bismuth shot though. Luckily 4 shot works well on ducks.
