    That wimpy thing. Not a patch on the 700 Nitro that came out a few years back. Regarding the 600 nitro if you have to ask how much the ammo costs you can't afford it. It fires a 900 grain projectile at around 1,900 fps so meat damage would not be too bad as likely only solids were available. Damage to your shoulder would be something else. Bigger calibres were available in the black powder era with Baker using a 2 bore (a little over an inch dia). The powder charge was obscene.
    GPM.
