How much velocity is possible to get in the 600 NE in a bolt action with 900 grain woodleigh sp...? here on accuratereloading they get 2295 f/s with 900 grain bullet.

Some one who know about the 700 juggernaut? and who make a 1200 grain bullet in 700 caliber...?

Overkill !I have also been wondering about the very same question !I think i saw Saeed was getting 2400 fps, but i think this cartridge can do 2450-2500 fps as an absolute maximum !thats a loot of push !I don't know if he used woodleigh sp. You have to pay a lot for the heym bolt in .600 NE ���� !I believe i saw something about the .700 Juggernaut on the net, sorry, ican't remember the adress, but i have the info that you like to hear; it's a wildcat on the 50 BMG case i think, the full case !!it will be able to push the 1200 grainers to 2400 fps.(with the full scale of this behemoth case, i think 2400 is a whimp, it will probable dish out much more.Period. Another thing is to get the damn thing, and have it approved from the autority. What a waste of time, money,effort,,much pain !My advice would be to contact JDJ gun company, that makes .700 on a shortened .50 BMG CASE, If you absolute have to know more.Maybe A-square make the bullets, at least they did when they was still active(They made 1200 for the .700 NE)Or a company called DKT, i'm not sure.Better stick to the guns you can handle, like the 30-06 or .338,.340 Wby,,for elk hunting.I think the .340 will nail you big time with those 250 noslers at 3000 fps !

Per577,


So you think that it is possible to get the 600 NE up to 2500 f/s. That would have much energy.

The guns i can handle, i have a 460 weatherby and i shoot it with 500 grain bullets at 2600 f/s with no problem at all. My weight is 140 kg you know....!

Guys what was the adress to Heym home page...???

How long is the case on the 600 Nitro Express? and how much powder does it take?

500grains
OK,

A 600 NE case is 3.0 inches long and takes a charge if 165 grains of IMR7828.

The recoil will be mild compared to shooting a 900 grain bullet at 2700 fps from a 577 tyrannosaur, if that is what you propose to do.
