Rob, I am looking at you

1000 gr bullet at over 2000 fps fired from almost 20 pounds rifle is for pussies.

Last time, we shoot 900 gr bullet at 2200 fps out of my 10 pounds, 8.4 oz .585 HE rifle. It was starting load.

anyone have anything to do with this? it seems like something one of my friends would do - but no one is fessin up to it

Dennis Olson built one like that. I saw it several years ago. I couldn't sit through the ads on Scott's show to see what the rifle looks like.

It's a decently stocked McBros - walnut and blue

Yep, that's what I saw at Dennis' shop. That had to be 10 years ago.

Yes! Makes my 500 Jeffery look like a 30-06 lol.

Nah, it weighs over seven pounds.

True that :-) He also liked his 12" LOP so it fit with his heavy coat in Alaska.

Sounds like a solution to a problem that doesn't exist. Lots of reasonable calibers will more than do the job.

here's a short on the 700 bmg

I wonder where it lands between 700 bmg and 12 ga from hell?

Ed Hubbel offered me a Mauser in 585HE for a great price, but the stock was broken. I ended up saying no thank you. A wildly impractical rifle that can break its own stock just wasn’t for me.

i've had 416s break stocks - btw, the 577 bme predates the 585 hubell, just saying

What is 577 bme?

I've shot the short version of this called the 700 wtf.

it's not any worse than a 12ga with a slug.

I was the first to receive the jamison straight walled 505 gibbs cases, and stuck a .585 in it -- looked like it would work, but Boomstick wanted to swage a belt into it to work. I send him a couple cases and bullets - Dimensionally? Ed Used the drawing boomie did to make his 577 -

I recall an article about a 700 NE, it may have been the 4 barreled one at SCI that year, It went to Africa with a great fanfare and wounded an elephant that was never recovered as far as I know..dammit!

we know, Ray.. dang these kids and their smokeless powder
