A friend of mine turned me on to that jewell several years ago. First time I saw it, I nearly pissed myself, laughing so hard...

I've always wondered how a few of them didn't dislocate their shoulder with the way they were positioned.
At one time loads were over $100/round for those things. |

Exactly what I was thinking. The largest calibre rifle I've ever shot was 30.06 and they pack a punch so you better be ready for a mule kick on that one. I actually thought "elephant gun" was just a made up term.

.50 BMG (13k-15k ft/lbs) will bring more energy than a .700 Nitro Ex (9-15k ft/lbs), but custom loads can get close to matching the energy. Think +p on steroids and an overbuilt rifle.
A 50 overall length is 1 1/2" longer, though. The .700 has about 40% more mass in the bullet itself, but travels .33% slower. When you double velocity you quadruple energy. That's where the .50 shines. Cool stuff. |
