Slinging a 2400 grain bullet at 2100 fps, it is the largest bolt action caliber known to man. I would love to shoot one like this just to see what it's got.

Not without plenty of limb savers. My DE is plenty of fun without being too painful.

I'd free hand shoot it if I could aim at something below parallel and lean into it.

It's basically 4 .50s...

If my physics is right that's round about 300ft/lbs to the shoulder.

You figure the rifle is 50ish lbs and will be moving into your shoulder accelerating around 20-25fps.

It isn't gonna feel good.

Better than 15x .30-06 rifles in free recoil and at $80 a shot you better hit what you are aiming for...

I've seen some claiming 3600 grain projectiles going even faster. Apparently there are solid aluminum or solid brass available.

I would need to have a running 350 or something similar for a target. I want to kill something meaningful for $80 of lead and $14,500 of shoulder surgery.
