Wow...that is large! Stock design was so different back then! Love shooting precision and long range. Big bores too! Recent college grad, started a company called MK Machining where I'm developing a bullpup rifle chassis system.  | |||

Is that one of those 55 Boyes (sp?) rifles? I have a book that talks about their intense recoil, no one wanted to shoot it. Love shooting precision and long range. Big bores too! Recent college grad, started a company called MK Machining where I'm developing a bullpup rifle chassis system. | |||

Nickudu: Thanks for the post. It seems quite possible that rifle still exists somewhere; I can't imagine it getting "used up" nor parted out. I am not sure I believe the quote about the recoil, though. Any round ball load in a 26-pounder would have to be pretty mild. There is hope, even when your brain tells you there isn’t. – John Green, author | |||

I think that the ML is a "Wall gun", not an ele. rifle. A Wall gun, was used for long range sniping, from a defensive position, ie; a fortress wall. The sights are set up for long range shooting. A smooth bore is quicker to reload than a rifle. While it is a neat weapon, I think it got mislabeled because of it's bore size.

Tyler The 1917 Mauser and the Boys rifle are from back in the day when men were men, and not afraid of a little recoil (and considering that they were shooting tanks with these things at "normal" DG ranges, you know they had big brass ones) The cartridge fired by that rifle is the one on the left, #2 is a 50BMG (for scale), #3 is the 55 Boys, and #4 is a Vickers HV MG round  | |||

Now wait for the discussion on how one was more effective than the other...with dissenting viewpoints. Oh, and the wildcats developed from those cases.  .395 Family Member DRSS, po' boy member Political correctness is nothing but liberal enforced censorship | |||

OK! prof242, I'll have a go at it. How a about a 50 BMG case straightened a bit and a 70 cal with a 1000 VLD? Yep! its for real and 3000+ on the chrono. | |||

Been done about fifty different ways already by about 500 different guys for about the last 50 years. I'm doing one right now in .666" called the 666 Teufel. Dies should be along any day. Looks like a giant 505 Gibbs. | |||

There's guns than look like they'd be fun to shoot and then there's guns that look like they'd be fun to watch someone else shoot. I think that big Mauser would be one of those that'd be fun to watch someone else shoot a time or two. Jason "Chance favors the prepared mind." | |||

The 666 Teufel should be unique as hell! The .550 and .395 calibers are merely re-incarnations of old . I don't think anyone has made a .666-caliber before. Will the bullets for the .666 Teufel be made of silver? | |||
|
| One of Us |
I think I'm rapidly approaching the price of silver bullets with these bigger calibers. The first 666 bullets will be copper FN's. Dust off your Ammomaster RIP!! I'll be sending you the dies for "validation".....  | |||

Cute! but I am prone to stop at the 45's as I am only planning to shoot things from the planet earth.  OK! maybe a 50!The version I'm familiar with is a straightened and necked 50BMG to .700. The bullet was a 1000gr VLD solid and the chrono was showing just a bit over 3100. The gentleman did shoot some 750 gr bullets but I don't remember the velocities. This was about 8 or nine years ago. Single shot bolt gun. | |||

Robgunbuilder on here did that a few years ago, so it might be him your referring to. His case blown out, with a small shoulder, is full length, shoots .700 cal. My 700 has no shoulder, just a belt, is straight,full length. Both have same power. Ed. MZEE WA SIKU | |||
