The .700 WTF Round..and No I'm Not Kidding...
« on: November 20, 2011, 07:34:43 PM »
What happens when a reloader with a .50 BMG, just wants "something else"????

http://www.thetruthaboutguns.com/2011/11/foghorn/the-700-wtf/

We may be a little late to this party, but I just stumbled across some video of a guy firing his homemade .700 WTF (as in “what the F#@& was that!?”) rifle. The cartridge was designed based on a .50 BMG case and using a .700 caliber bullet weighing 1,132 grains (.50 BMG is usually ~600 grains, BTW). It’s not a “destructive device” thanks to a “sporting” exemption, the same one that lets the .950 JDJ keep on this side of the NFA, but is slightly easier to reload for thanks to the use of readily available .50 BMG brass. Probably not something you can put on your holiday wish list just yet, but the videos look like a ton of fun.



Looks like he tamed the recoil even better than the T-Rex.... I think this covers the Zombie elimination round of the day award..

Thomas Jefferson: The strongest reason for the people to keep and bear arms is, as a last resort, to protect themselves against the tyranny of government. That is why our masters in Washington are so anxious to disarm us. They are not afraid of criminals. They are afraid of a populace which cannot be subdued by tyrants."

Only if the zombie virus starts infecting midsized sedans. In that case, this would be just the ticket. ;D

Wimp gun.
The May Guns and Ammo had a "Gun Notes" article on double rifle in "2 bore" used by Sir Samuel Baker.
The English often measured rifles the same as shot guns (Except .410 ) the number of round lead balls that diameter per pound.
This beast threw a 1/2 pound shot !
The case is 3.5 inches long and measures 1 1/2 across the rim

ME LIKEY....

I would take that rifle in plain vanilla .50, too.  It looks like a great ultralight rifle.
