What caliber is that thing?
Most of em were screwin up by not leaning into the shot but still, that musta been one serious big round! Sure would love to try it!!
 
"Test-firing of your new rifle is complete, sheik. Sorry about all the dings and scratches..."

There's nothing new under the sun. What about .700 Nitro Express? Or Frederick Courtney Selous's 4-bore, which fired an explosive shell?

There'll always be a moron who wants to use power to offset poor shot placement. There'll always be a moron who builds the rifle for him.

Waaay back in the 60s when I was in the army in Germany, the "Rod and Gun Club" sold a cheap Sauer-made SAA ripoff in .44 magnum. The only ammo they carried was the full-house jacketed soft-point. These guns sold for under 30 bucks at the time.

It was always amusing to watch some would-be cowboy come to the range with one of these hoglegs. Usually, they'd have a few friends along as well. They'd load up with six rounds (no ear protection-that'd be for sissies) and crank one off.
The reaction was always the same; they didn't know if their ear or their hand hurt worse. The blast from the big .44 is deafening, of course, and the poorly-designed grip would ride up and give the shooter a vicious whack with the hammer. At the same time, the equally-poorly-designed trigger guard would give your middle finger a nice bruise as well.
Naturally, the erstwhile cowboy couldn't quit shooting till he'd demonstrated his mastery of this weapon, and they would normally get off two more shots before trying to hand the weapon off to their comrades.
I always thought you could pick these guns up a few weeks later for much less than the retail price....
 
Holy crap. That's awesome.
I mean, I've never fired any really big-bore or heavy-recoiling rifles, and I am sure that the result would be similar if I fired that one. But still, that's funny as hell.

Just did a little digging: "The 577 Tyrannosaur is a modern day attempt to blend the giant .585" diameter 750 grain bullets of the .577" Nitro Express with the magic velocity of 2400 feet per second. The result is a brutish rifle that is nearly uncontrollable. "

Anybody that can do the math---what does that mean it has for energy?
 
Where was the video taken then? In the US any weapon over .50 Caliber, i.e. shotguns, need special approval and there would be no way that this weapon would get that.

looks like it makes 11,000 ft lbs (taken off a website)
 
Rifled chamberings for hunting purposes get approval. .577, .600, .700, etc. There's a guy making 12ga rifled elephant guns right now.

Is everyone here new on the internet? These videos are from Accurate Reloading, and have been around for 8+ years.
