Whats your biggest/loudest/most powerful rifle?

[SC4006]

Just thought it would be interesting to know what everyones most powerful rifle is, since I'm a fan of guns that go boom with authority . Since I only have a small collection as of now, mine would be my Mosin Nagant M91/30.

I see your 52,000 PSI and raise you to 60,000 PSI with my .30-06.

Powerful? As defined by what?

My Sharps makes a nice, satisfying boom, especially when it's stoked with black powder. It's not the most powerful rifle I own, but it makes plenty of noise.

Powerful? As defined by what?

I guess what I mean by most powerful is the amount of foot pounds your rifle can generate on average, with a little consideration to the amount of noise it makes

I see your 52,000 PSI and raise you to 60,000 PSI with my .30-06.

Then I'll raise you another 1,800 psi for my .308 (TikkaT3)

 

[44 AMP]

My Rifles, in ascending order..
.22 Hornet, .222 Rem, .223 Rem, .22-250, .243 Win, 6mm Rem, .25-06, 6.5x55 Swede, .30-30, .30-40, .308 Win, 7.62x54R, .303 British, 7.7x58 Jap, 8mm Mauser, .350 Rem Mag, .375 H&H Mag, .45-70, and .458 Win Mag.

Most powerful? by fl/lbs? easy, look it up.

Loudest? without hearing protection they are ALL bad. with protection the 7.62and .308 carbines have a real bark. And the .350 carbine is in a class of its own

The .458 is odd, to me, I don't notice the noise, as much as the recoil...

Then I'll raise you another 1,800 psi for my .308 (TikkaT3)

Ill raise another 3200 with my 7mm Mag

 

[Erno86]

My Boys 20mm anti-tank rifle.

Just kidding...actually it's my Sako {pronounced "Socko"} Model 75, bolt gun, in 30-06 caliber.

 

[Comancheseven]

My Ruger#1 in 375 H&H Mag. A sweet shooter and I just love the looks of the Number 1

[TheGoldenState]

.300 RUM; no break, no pad

 

[warbirdlover]

.300 Win Mag. Love it.

 

[Kreyzhorse]

My Ruger No. 1 in 45-70 Gov't can go from pretty mild to very hot. It's a sweet shooter too.

 

[alex0535]

.30-06 and 7mm Mag

I think both are a little bit overkill for the deer around here.

 

[BigG]

My .376 Steyr JC Scout rifle.

 

[Jimro]

Custom Mauser 98 in 9.3x62. The 25" barrel helps with both recoil and velocity.

Loudest....... .257 Weatherby with a muzzle break

 

[big al hunter]

Most powerful is my 338 win mag. Loudest is my 30-06 with a muzzle brake.

 

[handlerer2]

The loudest that I own and shoot are a 340WBY and a 300WBY. The loudest that I have ever heard was a braked 338-378WBY. It literally set of multiple car alarms over 50yds away. I believe at that range now, braked rifles are not allowed on the line at the same time as normal, unbraked rifles.

 

[fatwhiteboy]

If you measure by the amount of flame coming out the muzzle, I nominate my M38 Mosin. Sumbitch looks like a flame thrower at night....

 

[CharlieDeltaJuliet]

Bushmaster BA50 50 BMG.....

I just parted with it just before Christmas... I loved it but it was just too heavy for a man with back problems to load and unload..lol
