You can build or have built any caliber you could DREAM up!! Just remember you have to pack it arround in the woods so WEIGHT IS A CONCERN!!!! The only other limit is the SIZE OF YOUR WALLET / POCKET BOOK!!!

good luck

You could buy a 700 NE, as I recall the Holland and Holland doulbes are running $120,000 or so, and there may be a few year wait. Ammo is $100 per cartridge.

Overkill,

It's a caliber "under construction" or only single production. I have no details on it for the moment. I don't know how many rifles have been built in this caliber. It is too much for me!!!!!

Average Velocity (Muzzle)(Max) 2,300(1200gr)
Average Energy (Muzzle)(Max) 15,000(1200gr)

Year Introduced 2000 (proposed plan)
Status Wildcat
Recoil (12.25 lb rifle)(1200gr) ??.?? > 175 ft/lbs

2-Bore double, made in Australia.
Please buy one, fire both barrels at once and let us know what you think.
Should be big enough.
