Mr. HP says his 1082grain slugs fit.An Accuratemolds bullet of 1072grains is a smidgen over 1" long: http://accuratemolds.com/bullet_detail.php?bullet=73-1072So a WAG is somewhere around 1.1", a little longer with a rounded tip that allows you to cant it into place.
As his slugs has a big added HP, it goes to show an initial bigger bullet.
Sounds like you have an itch! Didn't you just buy the Bushbuck .45?
1000gr that's insane,.......I used to shoot 1000gr arrows out of my 94# ELB and they where Heeeavy.

Interesting everyone else are getting 1500-1650fpe from the guns and one fellow on YT claims 3000fpe on air with the same gun... and actually believe his chrony numbers with the chrony right at the muzzle. I wish it was so easy to get to 3000fpe, but no. Marko
Labradar is much more accurate. And is immune to any air / muzzle blast. I have had interesting chrony numbers with big bores, and if it's looking too good to be true, shoot couple with the chrony some yards away from the muzzle. That'll bring you right back to the reality. Marko
I know the person you are referring to that got the 3000fpe, I think it was an error and measured the air cloud coming out of the muzzle. He had an uncontrolled tank dump on a shot which used a lot of 4500psi air all at once. Maybe they can use a bit more air flowing through, and I wish there was an easy way to reproduce that result, even just to confirm that it can happen.The force of the air rushing out of the barrel also provided a good smack to the head, so try this at your own risk.But it does seem like a little port work and hammer work might yield some higher energies.If someone really wants to try this, I'd suggest an electric solenoid strong enough to keep the valve open. Strap the rifle to a stand, and hold the switch for a few seconds to dump the air.
