That rifle doesn’t look very pleasant to shoot.
Cool video.

I have a 458 Lott that is damned stout. Never wanted to shoot a 577 trex.

Check at 12:10 where the block deforms the table.

I have a 458 Lott that is damned stout. Never wanted to shoot a 577 trex. Yep. I carried a .450 Rigby with 500gr at 2300 - 2400fps. It will get your attention, and clean your sinuses at the same time. Never saw the need to go any bigger and wouldn't want to regardless. I've shot a .450 NE which to me was easier on the shoulder than the .450 Rigby. But double rifles weigh in at 11.5 lbs and that certainly helps.... a little.

That ball of flaming gas sears your steaks from the inside out.
Every normal man must be tempted, at times, to spit on his hands, hoist the black flag, and begin slitting throats.

The tip of the bullet lit up like a police flashlight the instant it came into contact with ballistic gel. What the hell is that??

That much shock and the bullet didn't even expand, did it?

That much shock and the bullet didn't even expand, did it? That was the solid. The soft lead round deformed a lot, and didn't even make it out the back of the second block. Solids are designed not to deform, but to penetrate. They will go the full length of a Cape buffalo.

The hinged floor plate opening under recoil is very uncool. The one guy said the shooter' finger hit it during recoil, I could not see that in slow motion.

Put a shirt on. Nobody wants to see your fat ripple.
That said the powder burning inside the gel was pretty cool.

I shoot a 300 grain icewater quenched hard cast bullet with a gas check from my 6" Ruger Blackhawk .45 Colt. It chronographs at 1300 FPS, penetrates 18" of tightly packed wet newspaper, and doesn't expand. Other than the rifling grooves it could be loaded and fired again. Until I fitted a set of soft rubber grips, the grip frame was bruising and cutting my hands. It's a lot of fun to shoot- - - - -a few times!
