4 gauge

Two years ago, I had the opportunity to tour the Holland and Holland factory. While there, i had a chance to see a 4 bore double which was being completed. Gun was reputed to have $100,000 worth of engraving. Becha the gun never has a shell put in it.

I bought eight gauge snap caps from Adams and Spencer while they were making them. I don't know if they ever made four gauge caps.

Charlie at least one of our members owns fours. I don't know whether he is loading for them or not.

Here are a few 4s, with a WRA Co. 24 gauge 'Repeater' load for comparison. From left to right:

1) 24 Gauge
2) Kynoch 'Patented Brass Shell'
3) Late Eley
4) WRA Co. 'Leader' NPE
5) UMC Co. (that someone thoughtfully removed the shot from?!)
