Rob- have then put your 700 Imp on their list, so us AR guys
will be in the lead, on their most powerful list. I will put my 700HE on when I get it assembled and fired

Mehul,
14,000ftlbs is not so impressive in the great scale of things unless you stipulate hunting catridge, in which case the 700nitro is the untouchable champion.

The next class up, man deployable anti material rifles start with the 50Bmg(and their wildcats) and end with the 20mm cases, with over 30,000ftlbs energy making everything else look pretty ho-hum.

If we want pure numbers I may be able to get someone to provide load data for thier replica civil war mountain howitzer if you would like. Probably around 60,000- 100,000ftlbs energy.

Karl.
