How many grains of powder??

Talk about some kick.

Guys Shoot the .950 JDJ

The guys from Knight Rifles "Americas Muzzleloader" head out to the range with Dave Fricke of Millennium Manufacturing to shoot the largest center fire rifle ever made. Only 12 people have ever shot the .950 JDJ as a rifle. Produced by SSK Industries

This thing would be the cats ass if the T-Rex ever becomes a recognized game animal. How long till Hornady brings out the Creedmoor version of it?

240 grains!!!

I held the dummy cartridge in this picture. It’s frigging HUGE!!!! Carroll from Sierra bullets came to Ohio for IHMSA Internationals and visited JD Jones and JD gave him a 950 JDJ cartridge.
Not for the faint of heart, the .950 JDJ utilizes a .95 caliber 2400 grain bullet which travels at a speed of 2100 fps using 240 grains of powder. When fired, this beast generates 25,400 foot-pounds of muzzle energy and 277 foot-pounds of recoil energy, which is equivalent to firing 10 .30-06 rifles at the same time. Each bullet costs $40 to purchase.

That's just for the primer.

Now i also know where all the powder is going.

And some things are useless and stupid always and forever.

 

[JMayo]

That is one monster cannon !

My 50 cal mag knight in-line is the only rifle I have that deceased in price.
States changing the hunting regs, allowing center fire yr around skunked me on resale.

The gunsmith (Dennis) at SSK refused to shoot it. I believe there were two heavy guns and one light gun built. I have an end piece from one of the barrels. Not real practical but definitely a win in any argument about whose is bigger.

I love big bores hence my user name but theirs no way in herl I’d sit behind that thing. I bet it would kill a pig though lol, that’s what I measure all guns against, how bad it will slaughter a stinky pig

Heck Thumper, that thing would probably cook it for you too!

 

[Stumpy1]

Awesome round for offhand shooting!

 

[Ned Ludd]

Having a rifle chambered in .950 JDJ for P-dogs could get a little "pricey".

I don’t want them cooked, just really really dead ready for the creek.

 

[Cecil S.]

HOLY S**T.........Ummmmm nope not for me!

 

[EOD Rob]

You better be truly committed when starting a build of one of those! Your wallet, your shoulder, your mind! Wow!

 

[358WCF]

Good for Hunter class BR... the X count will go up. Even if it's a 7 it'll be a 10.

 

[rr2030]

WOW! I bet that 2400 grain bullet @ 2100fps had little difficulty going through a paper target waaaay down there at 100 yards. I see no sense in it.

 

[Ranger007]

I think I want one!

 

[338 dude]

You heard the old saying kills on one end maims on the other I believe that rifle kills on both ends!

 

[rijndael]

I'd try shooting it with subsonics and a can.
