Galactic Horizon 18x63mm Bighorn

The Galactic Horizon 18x63mm Bighorn is an exactly 1,001 grain anti-materiel munition designed to be used sparingly in large-bore firearms, it is a lesser-produced and somewhat specialty caliber designed mostly for big-game hunting and anti-armour jobs where sheer brute force and transferral of kinetic energy is preferred over something more efficiently designed.

Needless to say, it’s a big hit on the Nepleslian market.

It went into limited production from Galactic Horizon in YE 42, the projectile is a denser variation of the company’s 12 Gauge Magnum Slug seated in the neck of a sliverly-purple alloy casing, the projectile is encased inside a Skusten shell that has then been Teflon-coated to protect the strengthened barrels it travels through. The projectile protruding from the end of its casing means both that more powder can be loaded behind it to increase its energy but also that it can no longer be fed from the magazine of weapons the likes of the Trike Compact Assault Shotgun or BW-KAS2 “Executioner”1).
