We've all seen the videos of the guys firing the 577 T-Rex.
Rifle Shooting (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CQJSZs-euZU#)
Skinny fools falling backwards with the recoil of this behemoth round.
I wonder, has anyone here fired a 577 T-Rex?
If not, what is the most powerful round, you've personally fired from a rifle or handgun?

.577 T-Rex go BOOM (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-EVqT3XEzss#)
I've fired a 30.06 in a rifle and .40/.45 in a handgun, none of which are abnormally powerful. I would like to get a .338 Lapua Magnum and a .460 S&W one of these days.

.300 Win Mag for rifle
.460 SW Mag for pistol

12 ga BB load. In a single shot. Could not take a 2nd aimed shot.

Can I be man enough to point out the spelling errors?

Oh and 3" slug from my friend's 870 shotgun. That was by far the worst thing I've shot.
-
500 S&W. Felt like catching a baseball without a glove.

I knew you would catch them Tom!

Shot a .340 Weatherby Magnum that a family friend left to my dad when he died. Apparently he had ambitions of big-game hunting safaris in Africa; got the rifle, but never went on the safari. Anyway, it was light as hell, maybe five or six pounds max, no muzzle brake, pretty much as if you designed a painful rifle. Me and Dad each shot a five shot group from the standing position, and neither of us was ambitious enough to put it on the bags and shoot it off the bench to see how it shot. ;D
Biggest pistol was .44 Mag. Not a really big deal, but I do like the way those large caliber pistols feel when you shoot them.
EDIT: Muzzles have BRAKES, not breaks.
-
500 S&W Magnum. Scared the sh!t out of me the first time. Didn't do much better the 2nd time.

Rifle: 2 rounds from a Safari Grade Belgian Browning Mauser in 458 Winchester Magnum. 500 grain solids.
Had Winchester M-70 Safari Grade in 458 Win Mag, turned it around fast and made some money. One of those that I should
have kept. Worth big $$$ now.. Was a Mint unfired Pre-64 M-70.
My present big gun is a custom 375 H & H magnum. Probably one of the Best pleasent magnum rounds to shoot.
Love to shoot 300 gr Hard Cast lead bullets a lot with out pain.
Handgun: S & W 329 PD Scandium 44 mag. Bad from both Ends.....
Witnessed a Woman shooting an Experimental 50 BMG single shot handgun
She handled it very well.
FYI, there is a company that makes 50 cal Bangsticks for anti-shark work.

I have fired a lot of big bore handgun calibers including: 375JDJ, 50A&E, 500 S&W, a bunch of rifle caliber contenders, encores, bolt action pistols, etc. but the most painful hand gun I ever fired was a full house 45/70 load in a 2 shot derringer. My hand hurt for a week. When the owner of the custom made pistol fired it, the pistol flew out of his hands and hit the back wall of the silhouette range. The grip panel broke off. I never saw him fire that derringer again.

You really have to wonder what some people are thinking when they get/make a custom gun like that.

They are thinking about shooting a Rhino or some other dangerous game (Lion) in Africa and not having it come charging them afterward....

Haha, I meant the derringer
Maybe I should use quotes more often :P

FWIW guys supposedly the design of the 500 S&W is such that the recoil (or at least perceived recoil) is still supposed to be worse with a 44 Mag.

For me, I don't know if it was the recoil as much as the huge flash and noise.

I believe it. Because I've been sitting 25 feet away from someone shooting a .550 S&W, and was getting blasted on the side of my face by the exhaust from his muzzle brake.

We are talking different things. What you are catching is muzzle blast. What I'm talking about is actual/perceived recoil of the shooter between 500 SW Mag and 44 Mag.

I think you guys are talking about the same thing. I took it to mean that there was so much muzzle blast from the brake that it must be pretty soft on the shooter.

No, we're not. Muzzle brakes lessen perceived recoil. S&W puts muzzle brakes on all of their .500 series, at least all of them I've seen or that show up on their website. 44 Mag, on the other hand, is readily available without a muzzle brake.
Now, you take a .500 S&W, chop off the muzzle brake, then fire it. I'm willing to bet that the perceived recoil moves into a new class.
