RE: 12GA From Hell
 

Another experiment in shotgun/rifle realm is
28GA From Hell. 28ga is .550 bore and with 550Mag
barrels & bullets being made it is a natural. Have one
on bolt gun ready to chamber.Chamber still
will fire shorter cases..Ed

28 guage from Hell?


That sounds sorta cool.



It seems that you've just been talking to yourself all this time, eh, Hubel?

Sorta weird how things happen on this site, IMO.

RE: 12GA From Hell
 

Rocky MTN is making me some
3.25 in 28ga cases. They are good to 38k psi.
That will get 550 gr out at 2500 in
bolt action.A regular 28ga gun may get to
2000, depending on how heavy barrel is.
Get a NEF Ultra cut off leaving breech section
for monoblock and have 28ga rifled barrel
made and screwed or soldered in monoblock.
And being able to hold 38k to match brass,
That would get 2500 fps loads.Ed

RE: 12GA From Hell
 

There is a possibility that we can take big
spanish doubles in 10/12 ga and rebarrel to 28ga
now that there are .550 barrels around. Put them into breech section of barrels like monoblock doubles are built.
They'd be heavy enough barrel to shoot powerful 28ga
slug loads in the brass cases. Ed

RE: 12GA From Hell
 

Tested AA2015- VV N130- Norma200- in plastic
cases with small primers. They don't fire
dependably. Sqibs and misfires. Have
VV N110 ordered to test.Have had inquiries
about getting our cases shortened for strength
and they want to put in small primer.
They can be adapted with bushing. Ok but
must use 4759 or fast shotgun powders,
if they are used by themselves. Any slower
powders, a fast shotgun starter powder
is needed. My testing shows RE-15 with 10gr
of Blue Dot starter is best of all we tested
in slower powders for shorter cases.Ed

Here is picture of the first falling block
model of aluminum, with a roughed out
stock to see how it looks. Action is a
rough model. It shoulders nice, and
lever is inlet into pistol grip,
so you can't get banged up
fingers with the big cartridges it is designed
for, like levers that stick down at the
guard.Ed

RE: 12GA From Hell
 

This is modern stock layout, Older styles can be used with
more drop at heel and straight grip or scant grip.
Comb is uphill a 1/4" at back from comb front.So
it won't hit the face. The front of comb can also
be whittled back and more curve added to top of
the grip, if a longer tang is wanted for the
tang mounted ladder sights.Ed

RE: 12GA From Hell
 

This action will have recess on the back top
to mount any length/shape tang you want.
Lever can be straightened easy for straight grip. Ed

RE: 12GA From Hell
 

Here is pic of action model with lever open
and the breech block down. Also the action
will have a slot in the top rear for a
top tang of whatever length you need. Even a
long tang for tang sight.Ed

RE: 12GA From Hell
 

Info about the toggle link. It is up inside
the breech block, and quite short,and that
allows the overall height of the action to
be relatively compact, for the huge
cases we plan on using.But yet the top
part of the breechblock is solid for
great strength.Ed
