Just my opinion but I think anyone buying a double whether it be a paradox, a Faunetta or whatever with iron sights and taking shots much over 100 yds at stuff with four legs is going to be, a) disappointed and, b)not very sporting.

Just my opinion chaps and worth what you paid for it

Mike,
If the Fauneta's are realized with the capped ammo maybe you will change your mind. I may be an a--hole but I ve shot at a # things with four legs at ranges over 100yds with my Casull and other handguns. I don't believe that 150 to 200yds is that great a distance with a shoulder mounted weapon like the Fauneta or SME. JMO

I agree my friend. It is somewhat of a head scratch-er how many can say the gun cant do that or this and have never shot Faunetas let alone owned a Fauneta. I was certainly surprised at what the guns can do, and my good friend Ross who writes for the DGJ is putting together a spread on the gun including his own tests, my results and the makers technical information very soon. I can routinely put groups at 100yds within 4" and that's with Ambhurst ammo firing both barrels. I have shot 5 Faunetas and owned all of them with wonderful results. The LT cap is even more accurate of a round I hear but I haven't shot those, but there coming in the next couple years..

General,

I have no doubt of the accuracy potential at conventional ranges. I just can't figure out why these 105 year old brass and lead zeplins are not on the market today, in some form or another and being used in modern scoped slug guns.

Having shot your 5 Fauneta's with the Armbrust load, have you tried any shots at 150, 200 or even 300 yards? You must have been tempted with all those sight leaves on the rib... If so, what were the results?

Also, it would be great if the forthcoming Fauneta flier contained some actual targets that support these original claims. If they work, Westley Richards should offer them in .615 so they can be used in conventional slug guns...

Thanks

I wouldn't expect the wadcutter like bullet used in the Armbrust load to have the same stability of the LT

The Armbrust bullet and an LT 20




Most conventional paradox style bullets are center or front weighted. The LT has most of its weight in the base.

Original paradox 12 and LT and your original Kynoch bullet
