Give me a place to stand and a long-enough lever, and I will invariably break the lever.

I wonder about the joint where the steel and brass join... 80K is a lot of pressure ! Thanks for the link, Hacker !

Yes Pooh 80K is a lot and the .277 Fury seems to hold that title. Now a 16 inch naval gun runs at 37K.

And the 16"Naval rifle throws that 2,700# bullet at about .30-06 velocities for a 25+ mile effective range with 9 rounds in a football field.

Bob, there was an article run in one of the magazines (back when my hair was brown) whose title was "The World's Biggest Varmint Rifle"...

This would do it Pooh. The article I read was in Popular Science or the like. Also there is a barrel from the Missouri in our county, it weighs 247,000 lbs. 66'-8" (16"-50 caliber) long it's huge by itself. They were the same as coastal defense battery's guns.
