Specifications [edit]
In many ways this cartridge is similar to the .600 Nitro Express cartridge. It is essentially a larger version of this cartridge, but is slightly more powerful and fires a heavier 1,000 grain (64.8 g) bullet. The case itself is a completely new case, not just another resized case. Double rifles are extremely expensive, starting at US$10,000 and selling for over US$260,000 in 2015, and have generally been replaced by repeater rifles using cartridges such as the .458 Winchester.
Select factory .700 Nitro cartridges are available, typically priced at $100 each.
Comparable calibers[edit]
Rifle calibers comparable to the .700 Nitro Express in power and recoil include the following:
- .600 Nitro Express
- .600 Overkill
- .585 Nyati
- .577 Tyrannosaurus
- .585 Hubel Express
- .475 A&M Magnum
- .460 Weatherby Magnum
- 12.7 × 108 mm
- 14.5 × 114 mm
- .50 BMG
- 2 holes
- .950 JDJ (world's largest rifle cartridge)
- 20×102mm Vulcan (one of the most powerful rifle cartridges used in anti-material rifles)
Ballistics [edit]
The .700 Nitro Express averages about 8,900 ft lb (12,100 J) of muzzle energy with a 1,000 gr (65 g) bullet at 2,000 ft/s (610 m/s). However, hand loaders can push the cartridge to generate up to 15,000 ft lb (20,000 J) of energy with a modern bolt action using a 1,000 gr (65 g) bullet fired at 2,600 ft/s (792 m/s). However, this requires a gun so heavy that it is practically unsuitable for hunting. The lathe cases used in the Accurate Reloading rifle described above will suffer from primer explosions at this level, although a good source of drawn brass will allow (theoretically) velocities up to 2,700 ft/s (820 m/s).
The typical average muzzle velocity of a factory loaded cartridge is 2,000 ft/s (610 m/s). In an 18 lb (8.2 kg) rifle used by Accurate Reloading, this would result in recoil energy of approximately 160 ft⋅lbf (220 J). This is more than ten times the average recoil of a .308 Winchester, which is a very common hunting caliber, and more than 4 times the recoil of a strong .45-70 Government cartridge.
