Wildcat 12GA From Hell.--
I just got a super shotgun done,that shoots the real
fast sabots I mentioned in the sabot thread below..
We used a Savage 210 bolt action with heavy barrel and
stock.Brass cases are real long and we made them by putting
12ga size rims on BMG brass and straightening cases.Here is
picture of our case next to regular 12ga plastic.And our
chamber will also fire thw regular shells.Ed

I've fired Ed's rifle, and it would be ideal if the Amish in our area decide to revolt [}:)] It also would work for taking down a whole herd of cats deer with one shot [:D]
Of course if you want to be technical, you don't need anything bigger than a 30-30 for anything this side of Africa dangerious game0 -
Tailgunner: I think if the truth be known, after about five or six guns we have everything we need covered. After that it's all about what we want (and that's what makes it fun ) .........best..........[8D] 0 -

As I tell the wife, I always need "just" one more gun0 -
oooooo. coool[:D][:D] 0 -
I have alot of respect for what you have done and the work you put into it. Nice job. 0 -
Jeeze, Louise, hubel458!
Is that thing mounted on wheels!??[:D][:D][:D]0 -
zipperzap--It is just well balanced and points nice.
And the weight really makes it nice to shoot.
Here is picture of mine built on the savage 210
bolt action.Ed.0 -
Nice Job!
That brusier looks like it gonna leave a mark.[:D]0 -

Let's just say you won't be wondering if it went off when you pulled the trigger. If you know HOW to shoot a boomer, Ed's rifle isn't bad at all (if you don't know how to shoot a boomer, it'll teach you real fast, hang on tight [}:)] )0 -
Here is picture of 3 different bullets in
cases, and a original bmg case with rim turned
off and threaded to take 12ga size rims shown in
the picture..Ed0 -

I fired it half a dozen times one afternoon, and it just slightly rocked my 185lb body. Only about 6" of muzzle rise and no brusing.0 -

really. Is it ported??0 -
No ports, no brake, just a single shot bolt action with a good pad, enough weight and properly balanced (barrel heavy) 0 -
Bob is right-it kicks no harder than a 10 lb Lott.
Here is picture of the case we fired 36 times,
sectioned to show there is no stretching or thinning.
Can't even measure any thinning with calipers.Ed.0 -
That is just amazing, great work guys. 0 -
Here is a picture of a heavy double we are checking specs
on to see if it will work for 12GA FH..Ed0 -
Here is a comparison picture of 3 big cases,
showing our 12GA FH in the scheme of things.
1st is 700NE, 2nd is our 12GA FH,3rd
my 700HE belted case.Ed.0 -
What kind of chamber pressure are you getting. At one time I wanted to try the same thing, but using a brass case about the same diameter as the .20 Ga hull and about 2" longer. Mine would have been a bottle neck due to the fact we would have used the .45 caliber projectile. I just wanted to do it to see if it was possible. I was a lot younger then and Grandad talked some common sence into me though. I think his speech contained some swear words and a comparison of my common sence level and the outhouse. I think I will stick to wild catting the .450 Marlin round. 0 -
oneshot--In my Savage I hold to 30,000 psi. Other two
guys with big Borchardt falling blocks can go
70,000. Cases will take pressures for many reloads,
as the following pic shows of one sectioned that I
fired 36 times.No sign of thinning at all. Ed.0 -
Tested a 870 gr hardened cast bullet that Greg Addington
makes.Got it to 2300fps at moderate pressures.Lightened it
with hollowpoint and got it to 2500 plus with no leading.
That will make Greg happy as no one else can test them that fast.
Here is picture of 3 with one in case. It is seated out so
to get max capacity. It is real hard. Good for big game.Ed0 -
Anyone wanting a case or two to look at or collect, let
me know.I have 50 extras. Ten bucks for Case, trip to PO,
postage.Ed0 -
We get asked about longrange bullets.In picture is a
pointed brass bullet that will shoot flatter than
regular shotgun stuff, because of our high velocities.
Good for vicious p-dogs I guess.... Ed.0 -
We tested a Barnes 3/4 oz sabot at high speed.....
All 500 S&W bullets will work in same sabot that
Federal put the Barnes in.Also lighter 505 slugs.
And real neat, the front section of BMG surplus
bore rider bullets. Buy them by the bushel.
Cut off the .510 diameter back and leaves front
1.5 in long of .500 diameter. Fit sabot cup perfect.
It is second in picture.Ed0 -
Shot a 610 grain hollowpoint Dixie hard
slug into 6 gallon sealed pail of water.
Going 2800 fps, and real big hollowpoint.
First pic is pail with crimped on top.
Pail full and has filler spout capped.
Second pic,impact with water atomising,
and pail blowing apart.In the next small
fraction of a second is third after impact
with shelf cleared, the hyrostatic pressure
down, has bent top of steel frame shelf.
Same blast put jug pieces all over.
Got to get a 15 gallon one. Behind
you see my wood bundle backstop...Ed0 -
Impressive to say the least Ed [:0].
That's really a well thought out design you have, and the 50 BMG bullets in sabots is a great "plinking" round [:D]!0 -
i looks like it would hurt really bad 0
