Neat, and informative. Thanks for the info. That is a lot of powder. It certainly launches a projectile at awesome velocities.

What ever gets hit by the Gibbs will most likely leave a mark.

I think I'm off to buy stock in Hodgdon :shock:

POP - you're going to be purchasing powder by the old style kegs :wink:

Fotis,

Good stuff man! You have some serious horse power.
Should be a lot of fun to shoot. :grin:

Most impressive. I can't wait to get a few range reports on that beauty!

What an absolute Monster Pop. If there were still wooly mammoths or something, you would be right there with that beast! Have you shot it yet, and how is the recoil? What does your rifle weigh?

Have you figured out what the downrange ballistics would be such as foot pounds at 1000 yards? Get a buddy to take a photo as you shoot the beast so we can see the earth move and shake! :shock:

This would work well for zombies if you could just figure how to get them to line up in rows of ten or more!

+1 on getting stock in powder companies :lol: :lol: :lol: Good luck with that monster POP.

That is an awesome case. I can't wait to hear of some range results. I checked out some video's on YouTube and there were some older men shooting it with 0 issues, so it can't be too bad. I bet it is going to really lay the smack down on some distant game. I am off to buy some stock in Hogdon. Scotty

Too bad you couldn't book a hunting trip in Afganistan. :wink:
