Well i though i would post this here as being the designer of the round, gun and boolit it still shocked me then i dropped the first one from the mould. The gun is 700 cal and according to quickloads numbers it will push this 1132gr boolit to 2300fps. well enough talk here are the pictures.

I don't know if non shoulder fired counts.

Why not? He just asked what the biggest anyone cast was, didn't say what it had to be shot in.:-D


Personally mine is only about 560 gr 458 boolit. While I'm not sure exactly how big Red River Rick's is, my vote would probably be John in PA's 7+ pound airgun pellet.

I'm not sure either one qualifies as shoulder fire weapons! That is a very impressive package you put together.

Please do a youtube when you light that puppy up.

I thought my 444 with 265 gr at 2200 was a man's gun. In comparison it is a 22 Short.

Ric that is an outstanding artillery piece.

If this is a "mine is bigger than your's" I think these guys have everyone I know of beat.

Should I post pix of my 1" slug for muzzle loading scaled cannon or my 4.5" mortar rounds? Big bore is OK.

I don't know how you guys do that and get away with it. If I tried that my other half would let everyone know I was in the more money than brains club.
