Packing the New 12 Bore Diablo Howdah

[Remy1858]

Barrel seems too short to get good velocity,

There’s a reason your loads feel “extremely manageable”.

They’re extremely low velocity.

Thats an INSANE amount of power. I had some surprisingly devastating results when comparing 12 gauge roundball with .45 acp.

Bravo! That was an excellent and useful comparison of the effectiveness of shooting the different loads.
I also liked the comparison with the .45 acp.
Great effort and very well done video.
It's probably not that some powder isn't being wasted but you at least showed that the short barrel didn't reach its peak performance at 80 grains.
That's amazing and goes a long way to help dispel a lot of myths.
It's probably not too unlike a full size cannon.
One would expect a little waste or excess powder, but if one wants the performance then maximize the load.
That big 12 ga. bore certainly has its advantages.

Nicely done!! That big round ball sure cratered the wet-pack!! The 45acp comparison was a nice touch.

Whipped out the old chronograph and gave this 12 gauge double barrel Diablo a good thorough testing... woah!
