I have, and have shot, my 27 pound P. Mullin 4 bore with 48" barrels.
No wheels, but back in the day, both the Parker and the P. Mullin were supplied with two "Porters" as a standard accessory. One carried the gun and one carried the ammunition.-----Back in the day, the "standard" load for a 4 bore was 4 ounces of shot. Many market hunters loaded more.
Actually, I found the recoil not to be to bad. 27 pounds of gun did its job. The difficulty for me is just holding the gun up to fire it.
