Too much gun?

A 4 bore would shoot lead balls that would weigh 4 ounces. This would be 4 balls per pound of lead. An 8 bore would use 2 ounce shot or 8 balls per pound of lead. This type of rifle used large charges of black powder to propel the lead ball. It was usually used on elephant or other dangerous game.
