Cool Omg!

The .600 Nitro Express Zeliska revolver is an Austrian single-action revolver produced by Pfeifer firearms. The Zeliska is one of the largest handgun in the world, weighing in at over 13 lbs and having a length of 22 inches. The cylinder section alone weighs 4.5 lbs. The Zeliska is also one of the most powerful handguns in the world, producing a muzzle energy of 7,591 foot pounds. The weight of the gun helps control the recoil, making controlled shooting possible. The capacity of a Zeliska is five .600 Nitro Express or .458 Win Mag rounds. The Zeliska fires a .600 Nitro Express slug (900 grain) at 1,950 ft. The cost of a Zeliska revolver is $17,316. Each .600 Nitro Express round costs $40, making this gun very expensive to fire.

I think I'll settle for a BFR (commonly known as a "Big F***ng Revolver", but actually it actually stands for "Big Frame Revolver") in 45-70 (they also make it in 444 Marlin, 450 Marlin, 460 S&W, and 500 S&W Magnum)

A lot cheaper, both for the gun and the ammo. (MSRP $1149) Maybe not big enough for elephant but you can still shoot buffalo with it...

Now where in the world am I going to find reloading dies for that? I can see the recipe now. 1lb of H110. Just dump the whole 1lb bottle in there. I am probably going to have to scrounge all the lead taken in in a day at Good year to melt down to make 1 bullet. What is everyone thinking, magnum rifle primer? That's not a bullet, that's an artillery shell.

Dr.Henley,

It seems pricey at first, but I think that includes shipping so.........

Also, It's not really THAT much more expensive than shooting a .22lr.
