Ever wonder how hard a .700 Nitro Express kicks?

Well YouTuber Kentucky Ballistics got his hands on one for real testing.

Sit back and watch the punishing recoil and save your shoulder and also your wallet too.

In the world of elephant stopping rifles a double barreled .700 Nitro Express chambered behemoth is the king. It will smack you with around 160 foot pounds of recoil. Ouch!

What else can you expect from a rifle launching 1000 grain projectiles at 2000 feet per second? Yes that’s 8900 foot pounds of muzzle energy. Better be ready for the pain!

Would you take a shot or two with one? Better watch this video first and see what might await you.
