Just something that I came across on the web. It's probably been shown here before.

The .750 Nitro Express: Creation of the Imperial Russian Armory in Houston, Texas.
It uses a 3.5" case and a true .750" bullet weighing 1300 grains.
Tested to 2200 fps.
Muzzle energy 13975 foot pounds.
Taylor knockout value is 306.
Recoil: Described by the originator as beyond the limits of the human body.

The .750... with a .35 Whelen and a .460 Weatherby for scale.

i would rather pour honey all over me and lay on a ant bed than shoot that......

 

[Beladran]

225gr of reloader 22???? ouch thats 31 bullets per pound of powder

 

[Doug Bowser]

Not for me. I have fired a .475 Jeffery's No. 2 and that was big enough for me.

3 bucks a pop ?

Well, you never know when a herd of elephants may invade your yard...can't be too prepared. :lol4:

I would guess that the few that were made had more cost than that in making them.
I'm not so sure that I believe him but the guy that posted that pic on another forum said that he had been offered $1500 for it as a collector item. (Actually, I haven't found that the "Imperial Russian Armory in Houston, Texas" even exist.)

Scroll down on this link. .750 Nitro Express double rifle

Pretty cool stuff... but I would hate to buy it or shoot it!

 

[Beladran]

if its a custom hand made double you more than likely wont find the smith online also there is usually about a 18+month turn around time.. some of the old english 4bore rifles cost more than most peoples houses

3 bucks a pop ?

$3 bucks a pop??? a solid 600 nitro usually comes 20 to a box and is about $260 a box. usualy once you add case,powder, and primer your at $20 a pop

What about the Russian tank busting cartridge 14.5x144! It's no small thing either.

And you shoot it outta this!

lol yea lapua round cost vs nitro cost is breath taking.. but if you can afford the rifle you can afford the brass..

Watch this and imagine adding 5000 more pounds of energy to that.

Why not just use a 50 BMG. It kicks less!

 

[savageshooter]

not I, who wants sumthin that dislocates your shoulder when you shoot it?!! Ill stick with my 308 thank you.
44 mag is enough for me.

 

[mildot]

:NO:

 

[ftsibley]

I think that thing would dislocate your soul from your body.

The only applicaition i can see for it is maybe on the deck of a destroyer.
