Indeed sir!

4 bore is a tremendous gun.......though hellishly expensive,and violent enough to fire,as is my understanding.

Fellow black powder double fan?

Yes,I love old black powder guns.After much more reserch,i found that Henry Stanley used a Lancaster and Reilly rifle and the really big gun i was thinking about may have been Sam Bakers 21 pound rifle ...that i think shot a 1 pound bullet and was 4 or 2 bore?Info on these old guns is hard to find....I did see yesterday, a new over/under double muzzle loader advertised in a magazine ...that i have never herd of before...it was made by Traditions and looked pretty nifty! .50caliber-350gr.Thompson/center maxie slug would be fun!

1 lb bullet? 16 ounces?

I think his was no 2 bore,just a full 4 bore with the 1.052" chambering.

I know of a cheap 2 bore shoulder gun with repaired stock,by Osbourne......can you handle it? imagine firing a ball shot through that....tis a wildfowler, but even so.......imagine even firing it. owch.
