At $20K, I think I'll just have to wonder...Comment

That thing needs a front assault grip.

Hmm.... I wonder if the 20k is what it actually costs, or they can charge that much because they can get that much?David

Wonder if it comes with one of those leg holsters so that you can hide it?

Based on powder costing $20 a pound, even though it might be a bit above that now for pound canisters. Loaders that are shooting a .600 likely will buy larger quantities....anyway figure on $.46 for powder, .02 for a primer, lead sells for about .50/ pound so a bullet that you cast costs .064, not sure if you'll need a gas check or if they are even available. Bottom line is each reload will cost less than 60 cents if you cast and you already have the brass. Much cheaper than .50 BMG that burns a bunch more powder than the simple 160 gr. that the .600 Nitro does. now if you go with a Barnes solid it would be a bunch more.
That aside I believe that I once read that the .600 Nitro burns such a large column of powder that the recoil curve is longer resulting in a sensation more like a firm push as opposed to a hard punch. Much less severe than many lessor cartridges and shot shells, which by the way can be much more punishing than most center fire rifle cartridges.Donate to my Tour de Cure

That gun and a Truck from Armalite and you could have yourself a one person revolution.

All the people with a body of the type that could hide one are also the same folks that likely would not need one to make an impression. I know a few like that and they are handy when it is time to move big and heavy stuff!Donate to my Tour de Cure

I haven't shot large pistols a lot but have fired 44 magnums and 357 magnums. I do not find pistol recoil as bothering as large rifles. The pistol wants to rotate upward in your hand but weight has a lot to do with how quickly it wants to do that. I would fire a 600 magnum built like this if given the opportunity but there is no way I want one. It is very impractical. It has to weigh as much as a light rifle. And it is no easier to carry and more difficult to shoot accurately. Seems like a very expensive and impractical toy to me. But some apparently have enough money for such toys.
I've also shot rifles as large as a 30/378 Weatherby (180 grain bullets at 3500 fps) and 338 magnum. I can shoot them accurately but even my 30-06 will cause me to flinch after several rounds if I do not concentrate (my 30-06 weighs 8 lbs all up so it is relatively light). I bruised my shoulder with my 30-06 during initial sight in. The length of pull was too short for me and the recoil pad was too hard. A hard, and expecially if its a sharp, push on the shoulder is worse for me than a gun rotating upwards in my hands.

Boy, that is a good observation. In my old neighborhood, there were always a couple of knuckle-draggin' apes around when furniture or appliances had to be moved, and they ran on beer. Where I live now, all my neighbors are elderly, and could easily pop a hernia or crunch a hip just from watching...
