No, never fired one, looks very intimidating, checked one out at a gun store once years ago. Loaded, it outweighs my Marlin 336CS 30/30.

It goes by the name of Alaskan Survival Round. Supposedly it can drop a Bear-a very large one.

Hey bigspendur, I forgot to mention that I was talking about a revolver, that is one huge pistol. I just realized that you are probably talking about a carbine. I understand that it is sometimes used so that you can have the same round in your rifle and your side arm.

By the way anyone ever fire a 45/70 pistol?
thebigspendur
For several years (four, to five) I owned a .45-70 Thompson Contender (handgun.) About a sixteen inch barrel, that had a Muzzle Brake built in. 3 to 9 Power Burris Pistol Scope. That thing would stack up 300 Grain bullets at 125 yards. One ragged hole!
The entire time I had that gun, that was all I shot. At least twenty five rounds a week (EVERY week.) I left the .44 Magnums at home, that .45-70 was a real hoot for a guy who likes big bore handguns. It never bucked, or roared too much for me. (Actually, with the weight of the gun and scope combination and with the muzzle brake, all the recoil was straight back. Very little muzzle climb.)
The reason I don't still have it is that my Doctor told me I couldn't shoot anything that recoiled like that any longer. I have too many health problems.
But .45-70 is still my favorite caliber. In a rifle, or a handgun.

I think Cheytec is impressive but Barrett still holds the record for the longest confirmed kill. They are also working on a .4something round that I believe last I saw was outperforming Cheytec's in that it was supersonic longer. All that said, we have a beautiful Mauser that gets the job done damn well.

What is the confirmed kill range that is credited to a Barret?
Gunnery Sergeant Carlos N. Hath**** made a confirmed kill at roughly 2500 yards, in Viet Nam. The gun was an M-2 .50 BMG. 'Ma Deuce.' He was firing it single shot.
The M-2 had a rail mounted on the top of the receiver and a 10 Power Unertl Scope on it.Last edited by Brother Jeeter; 10-21-2009 at 03:40 PM.
