OMG! I have a .58 calibre Colt 1861 rifle musket that throws out a 500 grain conical “minie ball” with a 60 grain powder charge (standard 1860s Military load) and it has a respectable kick. I’m cringing at what shooting that 2 bore “cannon” would be like!

Holy Crap-oli! That’s one big-a$$ gun!!! 325 grains of black powder and a 3500 grain bullet? You are correct…Kills on both ends.

The first link is to a 2-bore muzzleloader, so it doesn’t take cartridges from the second link…
