12GA From Hell

hubel458 · 03-30-2006, 12:23 PM

I'm visiter here telling about a new project that I mentioned in the slug guns thread. It is called the 12GA From Hell, that three of us
over on AR has worked on for last 2+ years. It is a long 12ga paradox style cartridge, but with a stronger case than used in the old days. We made case from bmg brass by putting a 12 ga size rim on bmg brass.First picture shows our case next to regular 12ga case, which can also be fired in our chambers.Second pictture
is my Savage 210 that I put cartridge in using heavy barrel and stock. I've got over 10,000 ft lbs with the Savage, other guys more with their heavier actions. Ed Hubel.

That's absolutely insane

If I ever have a problem with nuisance dinosaurs I'll give you a call.

My question is what kind of accuracy are you getting, and how far? Might be interesting if it is getting good groups out to 200 yards.

Bet my daddy's Rem M11 kicked harder.

Jake-you may be right as my gun weighs 25 lbs, and soaks
up recoil nice.
longrifle-- i haven't shot for groups, need good weather,
Rob with his Borchardt can do 2 inch groups offhand,50 yds.
Here is pic of his nice African style gun.Ed

Ed - I found a link to the site you crazy SOB's are using to communicate about this project and I must admit this is extremely interesting. I don't know all of the sciences involved with creating a new caliber but this is some cool stuff. If you guys have some pictures or video's of these monsters in action I'm sure I'm speaking for everyone on here by saying LET'S SEE THEM!!

Have you guys sold any yet or is this simply a hobby gone bad?

allcamo--We plan on pics and videos later.
Sometime this summer.All of
us so far are building just for ourselves, as I for
example am not a licensed manufacturer.
I just build wildcats( built a few) just for myself.
Now there are others building on various actions
for themselves.One on a AR50, couple on Encores,
couple on heavy doubles.Ed
