For the Biggest rockets, there are two options. "Pyromeshed" rockets come in a mesh cage, and are classed as 1.4G, ot there are Cat 3 rockets that are classed as 1.3G.

For 1.3G , check out Epic Fireworks, for 1.4G meshed, there is one called "King Cobra" that people speak highly of.
OK, interest in fireworks to be resumed in the spring. It usually is. ;)

Pyromesh; A packaging method that gets high performance fireworks through UN classification as 1.4 which is easy to ship, rather than 1.3 which is commercially impossible to ship

Keep mannequins and watermelons away from fireworks..they always get hurt..

I have seen 1.3G rockets put in a 1.4g box so they can ship them.......

I wonder how many companies do this.

Yeah- thats "meshing" them. The packaging is designed so as to make the firework conform to 1.4G for storage and transportation.

Epics biggest rockets, Sky Thriller, The King etc can be delivered in units of 12 (wholesale/case quantities).

Sovereigns KING and QUEEN whoppas are exceptional. Not the loudest report (still very loud) but in terms of performance they are truly spectacular, they contain genuine Icon shells, so if its shell like performance you want then these are the closest rockets to professinal shells you will find.

I`ll rephrase that,

Take said 1.3 rocket out of 1.3g rocket box as they cant ship it in that, then find a cardboard NOT pyromeshed box which had rockets that were 1.4g in it originally and pop them in instead. Tape up. Send out.

Ah, OK, but I think to be honest his question was "What is the biggest available rocket to the public available through legal means."

I would be tempted to use a few smaller decent rockets than 1 big one.
Unless you can splash out on lots of big ones or you're after a big willow.
