    You are all nuts if this thread is anything to go by. Not a bad thing considering the way the world is just now :dazed:

    I prefer to think of myself as an almond, though I'm probably closer to a lug nut.

    I can't tell if that was Bob Dylan singing or it was recorded from a drive-thru speaker box.

    I love getting out of the horse spital before I had to eat another VA lunch.

    To continue our discussion on African Big Game rifles, this 4 bore rifle is 19.5 pounds. The bore is just about 1 inch (100 caliber), shooting a quarter pound slug (1,750 grains) over 325 grains of powder. To put that in perspective, the American .45/70 is a 500 grain slug at most (usually 300 grains), which is less than a third the weight, over 70 grains of black powder, and most people consider that a painful rifle to shoot.

    Still, your British gentleman would carry a double 4 bore (instead of this pedestrian single barrel) when he wanted to pot an elephant for his dinner. This would explain why his monocle was attached to his lapel by a lanyard. If the first barrel didn't pitch pole him ass-over-teakettle like a Looney Tunes cartoon, he had a second barrel to dissuade the elephant from stomping him into a puddle of goo.

    If he got stomped anyway, he could die with the comforting thought that the boys back at the club in Nairobi would all stand for a toast before getting back to complaining about the government.

    Oh no, not at all. Recoil wasn't considered serious until you got into 2 bore rifles firing a half pound lead slug. Yet, that didn't concern your British gentleman much because he made his Irish or African manservant shoot that one.
