Nov 16, 2017. #6. fourfive8 said: Good question on the going market price for a collectible 4 bore cartridge. I would think an original from the late 1800s in one of the longer lengths in decent shape would be rare thus not cheap- maybe in the $50-$100+ range but that is a pure guess. A currently made one maybe in the $10-$25 range.

A 6-bore is .919" and quite uncommon. Large 8-bores are actually a 7 with a bore diameter of .875 (although I the largest 8 I have seen had a bore of .888".
