that bullet probably weighs as much as my hand, let alone the case and powder!
you know it's something special when they have to use steel cases due to the fact that brass would melt...yikes!
Steel cases are required because the operating pressure of the new cartridge would melt brass cases
Just imagine what would happen if they loaded it with DRT ammo
Just picked up a 4" S&W in .825 mag. THink i'm gonna try out my new "1 inch from the face" grip on it!
Our cartridge design team spent months surveying the market and concluded that the new cartridge should be between .800 and .850 caliber. This is because big game has, undeniably, become progressively harder to kill during the last century.
As can clearly be seen from the forgoing history, the pace of big game indestructibility is quickening.
Preliminary testing of the new cartridge has been conducted using a single shot, closed-breech pistol with a 10" barrel and has yielded excellent accuracy results. 5-shot, 100 yard groups have averaged 0.2 MOA, with the largest groups measuring 0.5" and the smallest groups measuring 0.1", regardless of who on the Guns and Shooting Online staff has done the shooting. Seldom, outside of the pages of print magazines, has the shooting world seen such a consistently accurate cartridge.
