October Country made a 4 bore

A 4 bore is about a 1.00 caliber ....1400 grain ball...

but these are/were muzzle loaders and very costly...

Tropical hunting rifles...

Hughes...Robert, not Howard made a 4 bore as well with 1800 grain bullets

a 4 bore is a monster...dwarfs a 600 or 700 Nitro...I cannot imagine

and some of these are cartridge puppies

these guns typically cost as much as a fancy Clayton Double Wide and up....way way up...if it looks British or Austrian or German...fuggedaboutit

Wouldn’t a “4-bore” shoot a 1750-grain ball?
