Mine was a 458 Lott from the shoulder and a .50 BMG from the bench. Fell in love with the Lott till I realised what it's refills would cost me.

Totally know what you mean definitely not gentle on the pocket
My 500NE I had to load with 112gr of propellant per cartridge with a 500gr bullet …. Our average shots per bigbore shoot is between 25-38 rounds 🙈 LOADS AND LOADS OF FUN but certainly not cheap. 😁

We just commented in another thread that the 6.35, 25 ACP uses 1 gr propellant, perhaps shoot one of those, get someone to hit you with a baseball bat and play the bang back through loudspeaker played on max volume. Should get similarar kinda result only cheaper.

Can I count a ripple of 24 x 127mm rockets as 1 x 3048mm?  ;D

I'd really like to have the training for the formidable G6, I've only seen it live at the South African Museum of Military History, Johannesburg. If you know a guy who can make it happen, please let me know  😉
