Hi Ed!
New here on AFRICA forum...guess I will slowly be posting some heavy hitter stuff too...
If we could only get the 12ga FH in a operating reliable Benelli!! Lol
Best I can do is 8 fast shots of 880s Hardcast at 14-1500fps (or 1043s at 11-1200) into a charging locomotive ...now one must admit thats ALOT of Lead and Energy in under 2 seconds !(roughly a pound of lead!) All from a 7pd ULTRA Reliable platform!!
I wish I could take it to Australia one trip to do some culling!!
Hope all is well with you! SAFARIKID

More info on this gun, we did it for testing 416 HSM with a rebated rim,
to check in intermediate size actions, with the longer, stronger, bolt lugs, Ed..

Here is experimental action for 416 HSM in a heavy
stock....We lengthened port a little, set bolt stop back ,
opened bolt face fit the 416 HSM rebated rim. Ed.

Here is comparison of Montana PH to Pierce action we
modified to use for rebated rim 416 HSM testing..Ed.

Anyone know if Ed’s still around?

No he isn't he passed last year or the year before.

Thanks, Dave. Seems we’ve lost a lot of the eccentrics the last few years. And I mean that as a compliment to them. 2 are in the posts just above.
