Thanks all.

I have the TC in 54 and 50. I want way bigger, but would settle for anything bigger if it was economical, just inching up a little. The 54 is my round ball barrel, It has somewhat superior ballistics to a 44mag, so it isn't a real powerful thing, but good enough for deer etc...

My only quibble, stupid as it is, for the Kodiak is that it's just a 12.ga. I find it hard spending that kind of money when it's just a 12 ga. I could basicaly just get a rifled slug barrel on my SG.

I know the in-line game is sabots, which I have always much regreted. I don't see why someone who understands the advantages of the old-school approach shouldn't tale that system and customize it around a the superior round ball, but I won't be surprised if it has been done.

I did see this round ball in the local gun shop that some guy had brought in. It was like 1.25". Heh, Heh. Though I got whiplashed in a plane accident, seemingly never to recover, and it probably is something I should avoid.

I would pay a premium for Stainless if I could get it.
