460 Wby really is prohibited

1 ft/lb = to 1.35582 J to get your conversions tp metric.

Just to point out, If you shoot the 460 Weatherby with a 450 gr (29 g) Truncated solid @ 2,660 ft/s, 7,072 ft/lbs which is 9491J then what?

The OIC is written in a way to indicate if the rifle is "capable" of firing rounds with 10,000j of energy, then it's prohibited. Not whether it can or can't shoot below it, but whether it is possible to fire. Leaves a lot more cartridges than this open to interpretation.

Basically, anything 300 WM or over is capable of 10K J. It might only fire it once but it could reach it. Just check out the J of a proof load of some of the lager chamberings...
 
Well hopefully this guy can use it as a 400k capital loss. Cause there is no way this present fascist dictator is going to buy back anything at market value. Read about any poor sob who has gone through this kind of witch hunt. As an individual, be prepared to lose thousands if this clown government is allowed to proceed with their illegal confiscation. And I'll bet they'll crack down real hard on few to keep the minions in line. And remember: Thank a liberal! Cause this is just the beginning.

And in Canadian law, a firearm isn't a working gun, it's the receiver. So who's to say what a receiver is capable of?
 
capable...is a very slippery word that could mean any 12 gauge shotgun could fall under this category as it is possible to fire a .50 BMG from a 12 gauge (probably not twice...) which would render the shotgun "capable" of firing a projectile with greater than 10,000 joules.
 
Remember, the Makaw FN in Washington State using the cerimonial 50BMG on their first whale in decades a few years ago?
Is there no FN using these rifles on anything large up north?
Wonder what they have to say about it?

We have a Westley Richards 577 Nito coming in (@243K US$ !!) in a couple weeks. Just checked, still NR (for now) Guy waited four years and will be into it for just about exactly 400K CAN$ by the time its in his hands. I wonder what compensation the government would be will to do if they were to confiscate it if it goes to prohib? (hate calling it a buy back when they never owned them in the first place)
