This video tests the penetration capabilities of various extreme-caliber firearms against a 1,500-pound Lefebure bank vault door. While some powerful rounds like the 375 H&H and 416 Rigby penetrated, others like the 458 Lott, 500 Nitro Express, 700 Nitro Express, and the massive 4 Bore rifle failed to fully breach the door, highlighting the door's robust construction. A 577 Tyrannosaur round successfully penetrated, demonstrating its extreme power.

This review explores the custom 700 BMG rifle, a hybrid combining elements of the .50 BMG and .700 Nitro Express. It features a McMillan Bros action, fires a 1000-grain bullet over 2000 fps, and delivers immense recoil. Extensive testing demonstrates its destructive power against steel targets, ballistics gel, cinder blocks, and even a car.

This video tests the stopping power of several large-caliber safari rifles, including the 700 Nitro Express, 600 Nitro Express, .577 Tyrannosaur, 500 Nitro Express, and 416 Rigby, by shooting giant gummy bears. The 700 Nitro Express penetrated 9 gummy bears, the 600 Nitro Express and .577 Tyrannosaur penetrated 12, and the 500 Nitro Express also penetrated around 12. The 416 Rigby was the most accurate, staying on track and penetrating 15 gummy bears.

This video tests a Level 4 ballistic shield against extreme calibers, including the 700 Nitro Express and .577 Tyrannosaur. While the shield surprisingly stops both of these massive rounds, it is eventually penetrated by a .416 Rigby and fails under rapid fire from an HCAR in .30-06. The test highlights the shield's impressive but not absolute stopping power against the world's largest rifle cartridges.

This video tests the destructive power of various elephant guns against bowling balls, showcasing the significant differences in energy transfer between calibers. Larger calibers like the .700 Nitro Express and .600 Nitro Express obliterate bowling balls, demonstrating immense 'thump' and energy dump. Smaller, faster rounds like the .416 Rigby penetrate deeply but don't shatter the balls as effectively, highlighting distinct ballistic properties.

This video showcases the destructive power of various large-caliber elephant guns, culminating in the .700 Nitro Express, against 'zombie head' targets. Scott from Kentucky Ballistics demonstrates the escalating damage from .375 H&H Magnum up to the .700 Nitro Express, highlighting bullet types and weights. The .460 Weatherby Magnum and .700 Nitro Express are shown to completely obliterate their targets, emphasizing the extreme capabilities of these big bore rifles.

This video features a series of extreme caliber tests using a zombie torso dummy. The .700 Nitro Express is tested with a 1000-grain soft point round, followed by .600, .500, and .470 Nitro Express calibers. Additional tests include the .460 Weatherby Magnum and .500 Jeffery, showcasing the immense power and recoil of these large-bore firearms.

This video details an extreme experiment firing a 700 Nitro Express round from a 10 gauge shotgun. Initial tests with standard slugs and buckshot demonstrated the shotgun's baseline performance. The 700 Nitro Express round fired but suffered from poor gas seal and reduced velocity. The experiment culminated in testing barrel obstruction, leading to a catastrophic failure where the shotgun barrel split.

This video tests the extreme stopping power of the 700 Nitro Express against Stretch Armstrong dolls. Baseline tests with 9mm and 10mm showed dolls stopped projectiles, while a .44 Magnum penetrated two dolls. The 700 Nitro Express, in both soft point and FMJ variants, demonstrated immense penetration, obliterating multiple dolls and even damaging a cinder block.

This video tests Premier Body Armor Level 4 plates against various calibers, culminating in a 700 Nitro Express round. While standard rifle rounds and 12 gauge buckshot were stopped with minimal deformation, the 700 Nitro Express, despite its immense power, managed to stop the plate. However, the impact completely delaminated and destroyed the armor.
