So, maybe I'm missing something...but why does that guy have an ENORMOUS gun? Is it shooting a ginormous bullet to match with a whole barrel of powder or something?
It's essentially an unlimited class of benchrest gun. The goal is to get the tightest group of 5 shots possible; the only requirement is that it be a muzzleloader and use black powder. He said it was .69 cal, probably shooting a two part 1800 grain slug with about 350 gr of ffg. The range is 500 yards.
These 'slug guns' as they are called are tack drivers. The weight of the gun contributes to the accuracy of it. The guns are not shot lickety-split and each and every shot from them is an act of meticulous loading. The bullets are frequently two-piece slugs, a heavier lead alloy surrounded by a softer lead ring that gets all swaged together to form something that will make one hole at 100 yards in a five-shot group.
The weight keeps the gun from moving around and also keeps the barrel from moving or shifting impact.
100 lbs! I've heard of 50 lb rifles that were used in the Civil War, but not 100 pounders. I wonder if he has a lift team or a hoist to place it in his vehicle. Sure, most of us can pick up a 100 lbs, but be careful lifting or lowering as one must always use their legs instead of the back. Ouch!
Well, I saw Jessie Ventura tote a mini gun and 1000 pounds of belted ammo through the jungles of Nicaragua in "predator". What the heck is 100 lbs in the scheme of things?
