JDJ from SSK Industries produces wildcat cartridges for T/C Encores. There is a .50 BMG with a 750gr. Hornady for Encores. I guess this one would be more brutal than the .600 and .700 Nitro Express. Anyone know how the 750-.50 BMG compares with the Nitro`s?
JDJ does make the 600 Nitro single shot T/C Encore handgun but it is not shootable by any measure. Currently manufacured is the .45-70 BFR by Magnum Research Inc. That can top 4000 pound feet of energy; secondly would actually be the .500 Maximum that shoots a .510 bullet and can be pushed slightly hotter then the .500 S&W, though nothing worth even talking about. Hodgdon lists the S&W 370 grain cast bullet as getting as much as 3,700 lbs. Really that's it for repeaters. For the1911 style there is the .460 Rowland that Network Custom Guns has pushed a 200 grain bullet over 1600 in it's Gas Gun. Anything else is really pointless and would hinder you rather then help you.
WSM Magnum, The BMG is the top of the food chain pushing 14,000lbs energy in 36" barrels, but with some special handloading (not for just any handloader) can bump the .700 Nitro over 14,000, though it produces singnificantly more recoil then the BMG for the same energy. This is because it is usuing a 1000 grain bullet as well as the larger bore (bigger bore, more recoil, period). The original 600 and 700 Nitro rounds use Cordite and do not put out like smokeless, also, they handloads mentioned above are only in custom made receivers. JDJ makes an "Ackly Improved" BMG case using a 1170 grain 14.5mm bullet that can get much more energy then the two above. It is a real run that is capable of extreme range and devistation. Accuracy has been phenominal in testing. But if you want to just blow things up. He makes a 950 mangum that uses a 3,600 grain bullet. It is made from a 20mm anti-aircraft round almost straight walled. It can make somewhere between 20,000-30,000 foot-pounds. For the more practical side, Ed Hubel makes the 12 gauge from Hell, posted elsewhere on this website that can do 22,000 pounds at best. All while still being able to shoot factory ammo. Hope this helps.

^^^The .950JDJ mentioned above is actually over 36,000ft-lbs of muzzle energy. It's a 3600gr bullet at over 2200fps.
There's also the .50 Fat Mac, which Gale McMillan invented. It's a 20mm vulcan case shortened and necked to .50. Throws a 750gr .50BMG bullet with over 20,000ft-lbs of energy.

Where did you get the information on the .950? I haven't had the privlage of seeing the gun that fires it yet, have you? I thought about making a road trip down to his place to fire it once, still mite if I find some spare time.
I've played with the FatMac before but never got to the 20,000 mark. Never really could find a good use for it since the action is so big and not conducive to portable style set-up (conventional). I discovered the 14.5mm JDJ while trying to find a rifle that would extent the range of current military combat, and I find that it does the job very well. It produces 19,000lbs of energy in it's fireforming load, and the 20,000 mark should be easily achievable, with a bullet that has a better BC then the .50 A-Max. Not really a light-weight set-up but one could carry it without too much trouble. I would like to see a Buff taken at 800 yards with it, that would really be something.
