Scott, if you really want some recoil, look into the .577 tyrannosaur rifle. It's been calculated at 172 ft lbs of recoil

[@TheMightybasstone]

or the 600 Overkill

[@Howdy76]

Not worth detaching a retina or two. My 460 Weatherby has about 100 lbs. It's sitting in the safe after 5 shots. I still ain't right, but i am 72 years old. GET SOME while you are still young and dumb.

[@coldpyre2491]

4 bore rifle The long, illustrious history of the 4-gauge rifle goes back to the days of the muzzleloaders first employed against the pachyderms of India and Africa. These guns reached perfection with the advent of the breech-loading cartridge guns. The standard load was 14 drams of black powder behind a 1,882-grain slug, which would give an approximate velocity of 1,200 to 1,400 feet per second. The immense unbridled power of a shoulder gun firing the maximum load for a ship’s swivel cannon generated 300 pounds of recoil energy in a 22-pound rifle.

[@chadhagans6687]

I thought it was a great idea. Not so much for kids, but for anyone who isn’t familiar with rifle cartridge sizes. I’d imagine there aren’t many people in the YT demographic that havent been shot with a nerf gun.

I just love how the nerf dart absolutely towers that 308. I assumed it was a 5.56 at first...

[@jurajokasa834]

Believe me ....as younder audience (from europe) we would love to buy guns all day long .....we cant cuz european union sucks

The best thing about the Blaser R8 is that there are tons of interchangeable barrels. You don't need to worry about the gas pressure, the weapon has already been tested with more than twice the permissible gas pressure and has held up

[@tacticalmattfoley]

Blaser (Pronounced Blah-zer) makes excellent rifles. You can bet if they put that one out on 500 Jeffery, they are darned sure it will work fine. It is a big step up in power over the 470

[@canadapreston5452]

Blaser rifles are solid and can be trusted.

[@endutubecensorship]

I'm sure most can be trusted. I'd say the one thing that disturbs me is that the bolt has nowhere to go but your face in the event of a failure. I would rather trust a Mauser action with my face due to overall built in safety features but any mechanical device can fail. Stay safe!

[@SKALS-ICY-TOM]

I have personally seen 2 Blaser rifles that had catastrophic failures..... so they may not all be that good, especially considering the astronomical price.... Look it up, it happens more than you think with them.... Id never shoot one after i saw those guns, one of them was brand new, and both was shooting factory loads

[@dkad7177]

The 470 NE IMO, seems to have the most explosive expansion of the targets. Very curious to the velocity of those rounds. Future chronograph purchase?? I think the 470NE has enough velocity to really make some great videos, with explosive expansion on thicker liquids like 5 gal of pancake batter, jello. 1 lb of tannerite inside a 5 gal pail of drywall compound.....:)

Blaser R8 is the best bolt gun in the world. I use a 458 win and 500 R8 in Africa yearly, a R8 for my deer gun, a R8 for my varmint rifle. A de-cocker instead of a safety, shorter rifle due to magazine being located on top of the trigger, completely modular. Once you go R8... you never go back.

Lots of elephant guns, no elephants makes sense 🤤

[@garyK.45ACP]

Great, classic cartridge. Developed to replace the .450 NE when many British colonies banned the ownership of .45 caliber rifles. The natives could pull bullets from the cases and use them to handload ammo for stolen or captured .450/577 Martini-Henry Rifles. Sounds like a lot of trouble to me, but that was the reason. The .458 Win Mag was developed to duplicate the ballistics of the .450 and .470 NE in a smaller case suitable for "standard" length bolt action rifles. It succeeded in this but at the cost of much higher operating pressure. This worked fine in bolt action "magazine rifles" but the belted case and high pressure often caused difficult extraction/ejection in double rifles. Bolt action rifles were much cheaper to make and buy and eventually the double rifles fell out of favor. Thanks, Scott! Happy New year! Really glad you are here.

[@MrPh30]

There would been troubles,since .450 MH were blackpowder and pressure proof for that, while .450 Ne was smokeless proof . Ive had a .450NE in Ruger nr 1, great one to reload for and lot of value for the money per cartridge,

[@404nitro]

Happy New Year!! Scott, if you want an impressive looking shell, get your hands on a 475 no.2 Nitro express round. Of course, almost all of the African rounds under 500 Nitro call all have the same power level at right around 5000 ft lbs, or the same as what a 458 Win mag will turn up with decent handloads. The 500 is a big step up in actual power over the 470 and lesser rounds when it comes to traditional double rifle rounds.

Hi Scott, the Blaser R8 is infact a bolt action rifle. It's called a straight pull bolt action. It's known that there's been a few R8s in the past that went handgranade-mode versus their shooters though - Blasers pays VERY well to keep people quiet about it though. In the end, the R8 is still a very commonly used hunting rifle, I'd even say the most used here in Germany. Btw: it's pronounced Blaser (with an A as in KindergArden and a S as in Zero). Realy enjoying your videos! Interesting to see that Blaser produced these in those weird calibers
