Overkill.
The .959 JdJ weighs 100 pounds,fires 2200-3600gr.bullets.Velocity for the 3600 gr. is 2300 fps, brass on modified vulcan cases, barrel of 25mm.I'm not sure of the action, but i've read something like mcmillan or mcbross ?!
This rifle will not be built since they can't get barrels or actions for it. [Big Grin]

Per,
The one I fired weighed 48lbs. (24lb. rifle, 24lb. muzzle brake), not 100lbs. The brass is made from 20mm cases, cut off and blown out. The action is a McBros .50BMG action.
They have been built. I fired one. Three times.

OK when do you plan to build you big bore and what are you deciding on calibre wise???

Will it just be for fun or a serious hunting rifle??

I think T-Rex have disappeared from Earth long time ago. So why not use the 20 mm Vulcan. Or not big enough???? [Big Grin]
