on the gun and the shooter. The back thrust of getting that 700 grain bullet up the barrel at that speed sure seems to me it would stretch a frame real quick. I would never shoot something like that in my guns. If a 300 grain JSP bullet at 1400 fps will put a 2000 lb Cape Buffalo on his knees with one shot, what more would a person need?
