I don't know if it is a dupe, search revealed nothing.
According to this video, this is the largest centerfire rifle caliber.
Sorry, I couldn't get this video to embed.

Someone who can, please do so.

It is supposed to be a .905 caliber. They are shooting the prototype in the vid.

I bet someone experimented with bigger stuff a few hundred years ago....
Which is why they specified centerfire.

Not if it has a "sporting" exemption, or something like that.

2 bore rifle is 1.32" (34mm) with a 3500 grain projectile and 17,000+ energy. Probably still the biggest, albeit obsolete now.

Yeah, fuck that noise.  I'd like to watch someone shoot it, but I don't want to do it myself.

Saw an article on a custom built two bore a few years back.  Pretty sure it was in Gun Digest.

Sir Samuel Baker had a 2-bore.
I remember reading that he claimed that firing it gave him a lifelong flinch ( I'll bet it did!).

The one shown is .950 JDJ

I believe it is the largest "sporting exempt" rifle round available.  That said there have been some 20mm rifles but those certainly run afoul of the NFA without appropriate paperwork.

+1.

Would love to know how you get around DD. Would rather they just trash that stupid law instead of giving exemptions out.

So a .58 caliber rifle that weighs 10.5 lbs is launching a quarter pound bullet at 3,000+ fps, it manages to stay supersonic to 5,000 yards, it's got a sporting exemption, and it only kicks like a 20 gauge?

Holland & Holland built ten .600 Nitros, stating no more would be built after after No.10.

A customer asked to have No.11 built. Holland declined, stating they meant it when the run of ten had been completed.

So the customer asked for a .700 nitro and Holland obliged.

For years I've heard rumors of an .800, built for similar reasons, but have yet to see anything showing it actually exists. I want to shoot the 12 gauge from hell though. Get into the gun for under $500(NEF heavy barrel 12 gauge plus chamber reaming) and ammo0 around $12 per round, with near .700NE performance.Recoil similar to a goose load in a light pump from what I've heard.
