One recorded sale and one feedback in 3 years
$8,000.00 buy now price and 4 pictures that provide little detail
A description lacking in almost any scope and breadth
No other items listed - no history of items listed
Nothing about the cartridge - not a single example shown
I just handled and took out for examination a box of .700 nitro express ("matheson" headstamp) and it's still sitting on the desk awaiting storage - and I know where it came from and bow it performs...
The trap needs better bait and and a better position along the riparian trail before I would spring it - better to just avoid it and move along...

Thermally modifying tiger striped Maple enhances the tiger stripes by bringing out the sugars in the darker color and making the tiger striping bolder plus it increases its durability
Thermally modified wood, is wood that has been modified by a controlled pyrolysis process of wood being heated (> 180 ?C, 356 degrees Fahrenheit) in absence of oxygen inducing some chemical changes to the chemical structures of cell wall components (lignin, cellulose and hemicellulose) in the wood in order to increase its durability. Low oxygen content prevents the wood from burning at these high temperatures0 -
dunno about chipmunks, it doesn't look like it's set up for dangerous game. doesn't have a leaf sight on the middle of the barrel. unless it's a new trend to forgo that entirely and use that vane looking thing on the front. man, I wouldn't want to have to take a second shot on one of those 0 -
At least Wikipedia has a little info on the round.
No much, but a little :roll:0 -
6 tons of muzzle energy, should stop a truck easily. 0 -
The 600 Overkill cartridge was designed by Dr. Rob Garnick, and was a result of his quest for something that would out-perform the 600 Nitro and would also work in a bolt-action rifle. The case is his own original design; it was not re-worked from a 600 Nitro Express or any other case. The belted, straight-wall case is 3? in length, and has a rim diameter of .635?, the same as the 505 Gibbs. Our brass, made by Jamison International, is of the highest quality and we keep cases in stock at all times to go with new rifles. 
458 Lott 600 OK
The 600 OK is a medium pressure cartridge, with chamber pressures in the high 40k to mid 50k psi. It is also very versatile, with bullet weights ranging from 600 grains to 1,000 grains, and velocities from 1,400 fps to 2,250 fps. The ?standard? load, with which most guys hunt, is a 900 grain soft or solid at 2,150 fps. That?s over 9,200 ft/lbs. of muzzle energy. Bump the velocity to 2,250 fps, which is easy to do, and you have over 10,000 ft/lbs. of muzzle energy!!! Typical powders for the 600 have a medium burning rate: H-4350 and Vhitavouri N-550 work well with a 900 gr. bullet. Any Magnum large-rifle primer will work, but we prefer Federal 215?s. There are several sources for good bullets. Woodleigh makes their 900 gr. soft-nose and FMJ, which are available from on-line retailers such as Midway-USA. Other makers are Hawk Bullets, Alaska Bullet Works, Cutting Edge Bullets, and many smaller makers. We have built an extensive database of loads for the 600, and we always have plenty of cases in stock to go with your new rifle, along with reloading dies.

10,000ft/pounds????
If you you hit a M1A1 Abrams tank directly in front, it may not penetrate, but I bet it's engine would stall out!!

No sir, why would I do that?
Years ago, there was the release of the .585 Nyati by Ross Seyfried which he suggests is as a replacement for the large cartridges, then only available for double rifles.
[/quote]The 585 Nyati generates 10,600 ft lbs of energy with a 750gr bullet traveling at 2525 fps. The cartridge was developed by Ross Seyfried and is based off the 577 Nitro cases. The reason behind the cartridge is to have a very powerful round that can be chambered in bolt action rifles for the budget minded. Generally such a powerful round was in the realm of British double rifles which are very expensive and thus limits who may be able to take advantage of such a round on a dangerous hunt.
The rifles chambered in such a cartridge weigh in at approximately 10 pounds. With full power loads and a quality muzzle brake the cartridge generates 150 ft lbs of energy, compared to a 30-06 with a full power load generating 20 ft lbs of recoil energy. One would greatly benefit from a well made recoil pad and a high tolerance for pain if you plan to shoot this often, or be into that sort of thing (no judgment).
Nyati translates to Cape Buffalo in many African dialects such as Swahili. Which is fitting as this cartridge?s purposes is for hunting tough and dangerous game.[/quote]
Both cartridges operate at the extreme limit of what the human body can tolerate. Detached retinas are always a probability... :shock: :shock:
