105MM cannon, with tank attached. 50 BMG Ma Duece, likewise. M60: Qualifies by amount of lead sent down range by time, rather then single shot weight. Same with Mac 10, 45 caliber.

A thin portfolio, but here goes: 105mm L5 Pack howitzer. 84mm Carl Gustav SRAAW. 66mm SRAAW. .470 Capstick (Con's old one )458 Lott. 458 Win. 416 Rem. 416 Hoffman. (close enough to the Rem as makes no odds) 416 Taylor. 375 H&H. (my current big rifle) 9.3x62. (my walking around deer rifle) 9.3x74R. (tried one, thinking of ordering a BBL set for my combination gun) Not as many as most here, but enough to let me settle on the 375 H&H as my big rifle. Cheers, Dave.

Short list but here goes: 585 Nyati with muzzle break (Bill's) 505 Gibbs (Mine) 458 Win Mag (Mike's) 416 Rigby (Frank's) 378 Weatherby with muzzle break (Frank's) 375 H&H (various) and that's it.. The muzzle breaks make recoil almost unnoticable, but muzzle blast is awsome, all of them were fun. I got a cut eyebrow from Mikes 458 Win Mag (because I was holding it too lightly) and from my own 338 Win Mag twice (in 23 years and approx 7000 rounds) again because I got careless. | |||
