OMGoodness !! What a rifle !!!! I would never shoot it .... ever. I can't believe how it knocks the ear muffs off the folks and knocks some of them to the ground from the recoil.
I've never heard of this rifle or bullet .... I'll never own one, but the video is a hoot to watch.

My mind used to be like a steel trap. Nowadays it is like a steel sieve !!

Friend has one(A-Square Hannibal), some others have shot it, I haven't. It's rough but not as bad as all that from what heard from their experience of it and they had 0 experience with big bores.

I've seen this video before many times. There is one guy who knows what he's doing with that type of rifle but all the rest are flippin morons. It is a hoot.

I thought it wss funny the first time i saw it, now i guess i've grown up a bit because handing a gun with terrible recoil to somebody that knows nothing about shooting a big bore is stupid and immature. Same as youtube videos showing a guy handing a girl that has never shot a magnum pistol to see her punch herself in the face. Stupid and immature.

Those videos are shot in the reloading room/firing range of the fellow who owns the Accurate Reloading website and forum. I don't think anyone he hands the rifle to is unaware of the fate that has befallen their predecessors. But their testosterone won't let them believe it can happen to them. :)

615gr solid at 2550fps.

Amazing how many people go looking of 15 seconds of "hall of stupid fame" exposure including many of the extreme "sports" mini videos- and sadly not unlike the old Maury Povich or Jerry Springer stuff. Also do a search for the 600NE Encore video.

In the real world of dangerous game hunting or stopping rifles, many of these cartridges tend to be more useful as topics for bragging rights, coffee shop or camp fire BS.

are you referring to my 550 Gibbs or Saeed's 577? My 550 has over 240 rounds on it, and one trip to Zimbabwe.

I would be willing to wager a sizable sum of $$$ that my little 550 has killed three more elephant than your 405...

Some people get a kick out of handing guns that have a decent amount of recoil to the uninitiated. I do agree that most of the guys that shot it were morons who had no idea of what to REALLY expect.

Huh? Lost me. I don't remember anyone comparing a 550 to a 405 for killing elephants???? I guess Bell could claim elephant kill bragging rights with a 7mm.

Why would you want such a puny thing when you could have a .950 JDJ?
