Can anyone give me information about .700 Nitro Express and other extremly powerful rifles,is it rekomended to Hunt Elk witt the .700???

The .700 BMG IMPROVED is the biggest caliber that you can use for hunting. A 1000 grain bullet at 3000 FPS. Or a 1200 grain bullet at around 2600-2700 FPS...! And the rifle will have weight around 20 Pounds...!

ok can you 2 say in unison "We're just 2 wild and crazy guys"?????

I'm trying to be nice here but, god almighty I can see where this is going!!! I know you can't see it but I'm running screaming into the night.

Many people here on board are in the proceess of doing a .620 belted rimless magnum which cover everything you're after,,bullet weight,speed and power !This thing will launch a 900 gr.bullet to 2500 fps,,and delievers a punch you won't believe,,and that goes both ways !!This beast outperforms the .585 Nyati,and maybe the wellknown .577 T-rex, which is used exstensively in tests,,by those crazy enough to pull the trigger.I'm not sure of the watercapacity of this thing but if .577 T-rex have 225,4 gr in german cases , think .620 Ok will have well over 200 gr.!
You could also get some special bullets,weighing 920 gr.and 1200 gr.ooouuucchh!!!920 gr.@2400 fps,,and 1200@2150 fps !!
You can also get a cartridge called the .585 Wells express, with water cap. of 200+based on the .585 Nyati and improved( using the cases full lenght of 3.1 inches to deliever a 750 gr. bullet to 2620 +fps,,about the same performance as the .577 T-rex,,and easier to get.
You will soon get to look at some pics of the most powerful handheld rifle here on "accurate..."ever made,namely the .600-50BMG,.700-50BMG.these monsters are necked up .50 BMG brass to deliever 900 gr. to over 3000 fps,,and 1000 gr. to 2980 fps,,(and that from a 26" barrel.With a 30 inch barrel you can push the envelop and have powers in the range of 14,5 mm russian X114 mil.rounds performance.Figure 3100 fps with the 1000 gr.

My shoulder hurts just from reading this! What do you guys in Norway eat for breakfast?

Let me know what you hunt with the 700 with 1200 grainers running above 2600 fps. OUCH!
