Taking the above into account, I wonder how fast it WOULD go. Point of aim at 1000 yards ?  ;D

About 5 feet.

The word "overkill" comes to mind.

The first prototype, was OK a little heavy,...


As we progressed we cut the size and mobility down.


The muzzle brake was the key... Those prairie dogs are vaporized from the next county.

Shells are a weeeee bit pricey... :-\

Back in 1964 Guns & Ammo Magazine had an article written by then Technical Director Bob Hutton titled, "6,000 Feet Per Second, World's Hottest .22". He took a .284 Winchester cartridge and neck it down to shoot 15 grain lead swaged .22 bullets. I still have the issue, purchased when I was 12. I don't throw out anything gun related.  Bill T.

I believe there has been some mis-information here.  The bullets and casing that were pictured here were prototypes from early in the supercollider experimentation.  At the time, there was no microscopes available to actually photograph what happens in a supercollider collision.  Instead of working in a microscopic scale that could not be documented, it was decided to start with a macro scale experiment to test the viability of the microscopic supercollider.  They began with the aforementioned wildcats and worked their way to the .50 to .17 BMG neck down job.  The .17 BMG was fired from a 6 ft. barrel that had an outside diameter of 8": a bull barrel to say the least.  Some work was needed to keep the actual bullets from ripping apart because of the extremely high velocities.  It was decided to used a milled brass bullet...

Come on.  If you've read this far and not figured out that I'm full of excrement, I have a lovely bridge in Brooklyn that's for sale.
