nothing, I am just curios.

If I had to guess, (and I do <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" />) I'd say the big Brit 500-450 Martini Henry.

I looked in "Cartridges of the World"
577/450 Martini-Henry 480gr bullet 1350fps 1939ft lbs
11x60R Japanese Murata 420gr bullet 1487fps 2063ft lbs
10.15x61R Jarmann 337gr bullet 1625fps 1990ft lbs
9.5x60R Turkish Mauser 285gr bullet 1758fps 1961ft lbs
I got way too much time on my hands. I'm a little disappointed I didn't know these off the top of my head. Old age catching up <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smirk.gif" alt="" />
