Mini Compendium of Big Bore Cartridges

Conclusion


For the person wanting the biggest bolt action dangerous game rifle that there is, the Hambrusch .700 NE has no competition. A more affordable alternative with nearly as large a bore diameter is found in the 600 Overkill, which can be constructed for a little more than US$3000 using a CZ550 action. Most rifles fall between these two extremes and at this time an excellent big bore bolt action rifle suitable for use on dangerous game can be built for between US$10,000 and US$20,000.

Some of the more practical alternatives for the reloader seeking maximum power are found in the .550 Magnum, .550 Express, 500 A-Square and 495 A-Square which are all based on .460 Weatherby brass which is plentiful and relatively inexpensive. For the traditionalist, a 505 Gibbs is an option and it is certainly attractive in some of the fine rifles that are available. A .500 Jeffery, when assembled by a expert big bore riflemaker, is also a sound choice. The other cartridges each have their place, depending on the shooter's preferences. No matter which of these the reader may choose, I can assure you that the .375 H&H will have absolutely no felt recoil after a range session with your new big bore.
