CBL - Yes indeed, it is one of the pictures you've posted above - An open hand (Diggory's, I imagine) holding a lock.
Let me know if you need any contact information for the DGJ.
Best Regards - Marc

Many thanks Marc - appreciated. Is the article about locks/big bores etc as intrigued/excited about the use of the picture. And yes, I do have an e-mail into Dig  By way of update on the beast, it is currently up with a specialist having its chambers precisely measured for brass cases to be made. Also getting some hand-loading tools made up for it to then teach myself the black art of homeloading. Making brass seems a very precise science and I am keen to get started! If anyone else is interested in big bores, check out this mini-video of Watson Bros new double 4 bore. Magnificent. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yMtVW2gSJ40Craig

CBL 1, I don't know where you are in the U.K. but I have plenty of once fired Winchester plastic 8 bore kiln cartridge cases if you want any you are more than welcome. They need to have the heads re-sized. A re-sizer is not difficult to make. 8's are quite easy to load for. Lagopus.....

Many thanks Lagopus - appreciate the offer (I am in London). Current focus is on brass and I have 50 to-be-fired cartridges from Alan Myers which I can re-load. Nonetheless, I may well be in contact in the short term, especially if the brass option does not work out or I want to load 50+ homeloads for a clay shoot.

No problem. Just let me know. I have loads of them and can always re-size a few to send you to see if they fit your gun. I tend to stick to the Remington cases as I find the Winchester head thickness is a fraction too much for my gun and stops it closing properly. They work o.k. in a friends gun though. Lagopus.....

For those wondering, this http://www.remington.com/products/ammunition/industrial/masterblaster-system.aspx is the kind of thing used for shooting kilns. If you read the text, you'll see it's also intended to "eliminate snowmen", which probably has some specialized industrial meaning, but still would make for a great cartoon or something. Then again, with a T&E mechanism, it would be ideal for whacking regular snowmen, too. They don't require much lead, I suppose.

CBL - Sorry for the late reply. No, the article is about guns of the 1870's. I haven't had a chance to read it yet.
You've given Dig, or somebody, a great subject for a DGJ article: Classic Big Bore doubles.

Or "Goosing on the Foreshore with the Remington Kiln Gun". Precious little romance in that I would imagine! Not sure I would want to eat the Pinkfeet after using the Kiln gun either.

The Kiln Gun is perfectly suited to large shot as well as the three ounce slug. In fact, shot shells are commercially made for the kiln guns. Some applications are better suited to the use of shot than slugs.
