Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Express Rifles and Big Bores Only 700 BMG

Shedhorn Sports sold that rifle not too very long ago. 1 of 2 made

Not very impressed with either the penetration or with the performance of the solids.

Could get more penetration with monolithic solids in 0.510” 570 grain from a 500 NE 3”, 500 grain 0.458” from a 450 Rigby Rimless, 460 G&A, or 450 WM+.

A lot of drama and recoil but no improvement in real world DG killing power, based on this video.

Very true, wisdom of a khulu from Wildcatter264.
Great entertainment value from that 20-pound-bare 700 BMG is its only redeeming value.




A 14-pound .700 NE DR would be pornographic enough:



The 50 BMG and the .700 NE had a baby according to Scott of Kentucky Ballistics Gunporn Hub:

Scott used to be a State Cop in Western KY, IIRC.
He found his true calling, all 250 pounds or more of him.
He is a big boy and works out a lot.

















He must have been hamming it up for the camera with such an exaggerated response to the recoil.

The Slo-Mo:















He better use a scout scope or stick to iron sights.

He needs the CEB #13 solid for the 700 BMG

CEB BBW #13 is the right answer when a solid is needed if the goal is deep straight line penetration.

Pick the right caliber for the cartridge and find a stout load because in the case of this bullet more velocity = more penetration IME.
