I did not mean to get everyone upset. The .450 #2 idea was more a brainstorm than anything. Just to see if anyone thought it possible, not to say I am going to go out buy one and cut it open and haphazardly take it to the range and start blasting with no attention paid to proofing or general safety. By the responses I take it as a definate no go.

As a side note, the recoil does not bother me. In fact, I welcome every bit of recoil I could possibly get. I have a bad back (7 compressed vertebrae, a fusion, and surgeons wondering how I'm even alive, much less mobile in all 4 corners of my extremities), and I've found that the only "cure" for back pain is heavy recoil. The more recoil, the longer I can go pain free. Sure, my shoulder is sore afterwards, but a sore shoulder is nothing like a droning, stiff, aching back. To the note of shooting a 500 grain bullet out of a 7.5lb rifle, at 2100fps, I say bring it on, at least once. If I can go a week with out a backache from it, I'll do it again. The only qualm I have with the said setup would be it holding together while I am squeezing the trigger(s). And this is where we return the Baikal/Spartan and the rechamber idea and the obvious consensus that, "No, it will not hold up." To which I follow with the notion is past, buried and dead in the water.

Maybe at some point Spartan sales will prompt Baikal to produce the rifle in more calibers, and hopefully one that appeals to me. Until then, I sit on the sidelines watching and waiting.

Sorry again.

--------------------
500 is a nice round number, either followed by "Nitro Express" or by "cubic inch displacement".
