From the link in the article:
Holy Cow. That's all I got to say... 17,487 ft lb? That's 8.7435 tons! We're going to start talking ballistics in tons! Ca-razy.The caliber equivalent of 2 bore (‘bore’ is generally interchangeable with ‘gauge’ in regard to caliber) is 1.326″ or 33.68mm! The bronze solid bullet weights 3500 grain / 1/2 pound / 226.80 grams!
While technically fired from a rifle these are more like massive shotgun slugs: a heavy projectile at a low velocity. The 2500 grain bronze solid leaves the barrel at 1500 ft/s and with 17487 ft·lb of energy.
That's like getting hit by a backhoe
Here's the 2 bore next to a .700 Nitro Express:
