I'm not sure whether to put this here or in the Armory section. Move it if you like - I just wanted to get it out there.

Why? Great diameter, but the case is pretty short, it can't have that high of a velocity.
3,600 gr (230 g) 2,200 ft/s (670 m/s) 38,685 ft·lbf (52,450 J) - Not bad, around where I suspected. 28k of energy delivery is pretty ridiculous.
As its name implies, rifles chambered for the cartridge have a bore diameter of 0.950", which would normally classify them as Destructive Devices under the 1968 (1934) National Firearms Act. However, SSK sought and received a "Sporting Use Exception" to de-regulate the rifles, meaning they can be purchased like any other Title I rifle by a person over age 18 with no felonious criminal record.[citation needed] The rifles themselves, of which only a handful have been made, use McMillan stocks and extraordinarily thick Krieger barrels bearing an 18 lb (8.2 kg) muzzle brake. Overall, depending on options, the rifles weigh from 80 to 110 pounds (36 to 50 kg) and are therefore only useful for shooting from a bench rest or heavy bipod.[3] Despite the weight, recoil is significant, and shooters must be sure to choose components (i.e., scopes and bipods) that can handle the abuse. The sheer size and weight of these weapons makes them impractical for hunting use, as they cannot be carried afield. Thus, they are largely "range queens"—rifles that are brought to the range for a fun time, but not usually used for hunting or other "more practical" uses. Additionally, the cost of owning and operating such a firearm is beyond most shooters; the rifles cost ~US$8,000, loaded cartridges are $40 each, and the individual lathe-turned bronze bullets are $10 apiece.[4]"When the people find that they can vote themselves money, that will herald the end of the republic." -Benjamin Franklin

Why were the yelling to slowly lock the bolt? Design flaw maybe?
