My new to me BlunderBeast

I bought this amazing 12 gauge beauty here recently. 60 grains of Goex 2F, a 13 gauge card (1/4” thick), same volume birdshot and another 13 gauge card produced the pictured 25 yard shot on my first try. I’m impressed and madly in love with this beast. I also shot some .60 cal round ball tucked in a nest of tow and can hit a man sized target at 25 yards. I’ll get some .72 cal ball to try asap.
PS Yes I left my shooting glasses off and replaced them immediately once I realized.

On my list! I have some .330 ready to go. .350 as well.

I’m not sure who made it but it’s an Ed Rayl barrel I’m told. The ad is still here with more details.

That's cool.

Lol, you're making me miss this blunderbuss! Glad to see it getting love and attention. Thanks for sharing about it, Cyrus!

That is one handsome 'buss, mister.

Makes a feller grin just thinking about it.

Now you have just flung a craving on me. Got to have a blunderbuss. My wife hates you.

The first pictures caption could be "get off my lawn!" That's a nice beast, for sure.

I get a notion in my head once a year to buy/make one just for turkey hunting. Carrying a 10# smoothbore through the turkey woods can wear on the shoulders and arms. Then again, it’s been deadly out to 37 yards… don’t fix what ain’t broken.

Regardless, I’ll start thinking about it, again.

Looks like a good rabbit gun. Load it up with 30 grains of 2Fg and around 1/3 oz of #6. Don’t need much for ‘bits.
