I don't know if it is a dupe, search revealed nothing.
According to this video, this is the largest centerfire rifle caliber. Sorry, I couldn't get this video to embed. video here Someone who can, please do so. |

It is supposed to be a .905 caliber. They are shooting the prototype in the vid.
|
|
I bet someone experimented with bigger stuff a few hundred years ago....
Which is why they specified centerfire. |

2 bore rifle is 1.32" (34mm) with a 3500 grain projectile and 17,000+ energy. Probably still the biggest, albeit obsolete now.

I'd like to watch someone shoot it, but I don't want to do it myself. Sir Samuel Baker had a 2-bore. I remember reading that he claimed that firing it gave him a lifelong flinch ( I'll bet it did!). |

Would love to know how you get around DD. Would rather they just trash that stupid law instead of giving exemptions out. |

So a .58 caliber rifle that weighs 10.5 lbs is launching a quarter pound bullet at 3,000+ fps, it manages to stay supersonic to 5,000 yards, it's got a sporting exemption, and it only kicks like a 20 gauge?

The rifle in the OP's posting....what is it good for? Does it have any practical application, or is it simply an exercise in "because we can build it"?

Quoted:
I once read about 700 nitro express View Quote Holland & Holland built ten .600 Nitros, stating no more would be built after after No.10. A customer asked to have No.11 built. Holland declined, stating they meant it when the run of ten had been completed. So the customer asked for a .700 nitro and Holland obliged. |

For years I've heard rumors of an .800, built for similar reasons, but have yet to see anything showing it actually exists. I want to shoot the 12 gauge from hell though. Get into the gun for under $500(NEF heavy barrel 12 gauge plus chamber reaming) and ammo0 around $12 per round, with near .700NE performance.Recoil similar to a goose load in a light pump from what I've heard. |
