About
What it is, and why it matters
The Caesar Guerini Ellipse Curve is an Italian over-and-under break-action shotgun and a premium engraving variant of the round-body Ellipse line, built in Brescia. Its hand-polished coin-finished receiver carries advanced machine-executed scroll engraving and is protected by Invisalloy coating, mated to a Turkish Circassian walnut stock with a hand-rubbed oil finish. Offered in 20 and 28 gauge with 28-inch chrome-lined barrels, a non-selective single trigger, automatic ejectors and five flush-fitting nickel-plated chokes, the 20-gauge gun weighs about 6 pounds 10 ounces as a light, elegant upland and sporting clay gun.
Caesar Guerini was founded in 2002 by brothers Antonio and Giorgio Guerini in Brescia, the historic heart of the Italian gunmaking trade; the Ellipse Curve showcases a new generation of computer-guided engraving that the maker touts as approaching hand-cut quality at a fraction of the cost.
MSRP around $10,650 for the 20-gauge with 28-inch barrels (left-hand stock adds a premium). Stock dimensions: 14.75-inch length of pull, 1.5-inch drop at comb, 2.25-inch drop at heel, 26 lines-per-inch checkering. Bore diameters .626 in (20 ga) and .554 in (28 ga); 8-6mm tapered solid top rib with silver front bead.

Trajectory
What the round does downrange
Solved from the muzzle figures and the bullet. The dashed rule is the effective range on the record, and the crosses are the steps the solver returned.
No load solved for this record yetThe flight path is computed from a cartridge and a bullet. This record has no ammunition filed against its chambering, so there is nothing to solve.
