Custom Double Rifle in Custom Cartridge

[ENIGMATIC1]

176 ft lbs of recoil at 21 fps? More than 2.5 times the ft lbs of my 10 lb 470NE with 500 grain bullets (67 ft lbs at 21fps)

Bottom line - Uncarryable, unshootable, unaffordable.

Hmmm. I'm not getting quite the same numbers as you, but yea I'll agree. Unshootable, will put anyone on their ass, nadda they can do about it.

Bullet weight in grains 1200
Velocity in fps 1900
Powder charge in grains 225
Weight of firearm in lbs 26.5

Recoil Impulse in (lbs sec) 14.11
Velocity of recoiling firearm (fps) 17.14
Free recoil energy in (ft/lbs) 120.93

Anybody who will entertain a monster like that is nuts! Or they need to outdo the next guy with a .700.

I was speculating on the powder charge, and I think I used 1300 grains for the bullet weight (per the box image). Pathfinder said 17 rounds per pound which works out to (max) 411 gr. Either way you're going to develop a flinch.

Take another look at the photo. Its a classic case of a "mamas boy with little man syndrome"

I though a pound was 4000 grains so I stand corrected. 225 gr. per load - 7000 gr. per pound and now we have enough powder to make 31 rounds....enough ammo for 31 lifetimes

Wow! How would you hold that monster on target for a shot. That thing is HUGE!

 

[toebako]

If it was offered to me to shoot at the range then I would be all over that. I would even pay for one bullet so I could keep the brass. Unless I need a loan for the one bullet.

Awesome!

That's not a rifle, its a field artillery piece. Nice gun but I think that I would rather let my friends shoot it and get some laughs out of it than pull those triggers myself.

 

[tootall]

Baahh, you guys are all lightweights.
Real men shoot real calibres like the 950 JDJ

There is no problem with that rifle,that's why gun be-ares and shooting sticks are used.

 

[Gibbs505]

Indeed, none of the ivory hunters who used big bore rifles ever carried them, until the last minute!

 

[Until the Angels Fall]

OMG..........that thing is MASSIVE. I'd love to "try" and shoot it lol

8 years to build? Lazy bastards.....
