Pfeifer-Zeliska 600 magnum revolver

Austrian Pfeifer-Zeliska .600 Nitro Express Magnum. Chambered to fire the British .600 caliber rifle round (originally made by Holland and Holland 1899 for large game, AKA elephants). Originally a one-off built for a wealthy Swiss gentleman, a Mr Zeliska.
Can also be built chambered for .458 Winchester Magnum.
Cartridges are no longer being manufactured commercially so one has to contract with a reloading company to have some made. Current price per cartridge is ~ $40 each. These guys will sell you some: http://www.kynochusa.com/
Gunslingers with enough disposable income can contact Pfeifer arms and they will make on for you, cost $17K.
Single Action. Weighs just over 13 pounds.

LOrdy, you can actually shoot that without actually demolishing your arm?

Choosing the Right Bullet Weight

Bullets are measured in a unit of mass called grains (abbreviated “gr.”). One pound is equal to 7000 grains, and there are 437.5 grains in an ounce. Bullets can weigh anywhere between 15 grains for the lightest 17 HMR bullets all the way up to 750 grains for the heavier .50 BMG rifle loads.
...
... in order to get the most out of your firearm for almost any application outside of casual plinking, bullet weight becomes an important variable that can have a major impact on factors like ballistics, accuracy, and recoil.
...
Grains are also used to measure propellant, or gunpowder (not to be confused with individual propellant particles, which are also sometimes called grains). The amount of propellant used in a load is not typically indicated on a box of ammo, and this kind of information is usually only relevant for people who hand load their own ammo. On a box of ammo or online listing, grains nearly always refers to the bullet and not the propellant.
...
Plinking: Bullet weight doesn’t matter much for casual plinking. Just buy whatever ammo is cheapest and functions well in your gun.

Shooting for Maximum Accuracy: Bullet weight can play a huge role in accuracy for a couple of reasons.
...
Heavier bullets are less susceptible to being blown off course by the wind, but if the bullet is too heavy, it might not have enough velocity to remain stable at the desired distances.
...
For any given caliber, some bullet weights have a better track record than others, but it’s only part of the story. Expansion and penetration characteristics are more important than the mere numbers representing bullet weight, velocity, or caliber.
...
Bullet Weight vs. Recoil: A lot of people intuitively believe there must be some link between bullet weight and recoil. If I want lighter recoil loads for my handgun, I should choose a lighter bullet weight, right?

Not necessarily
...
...lighter bullets are usually loaded to fly at greater velocities in order to make up for their low mass. In fact, a high velocity light bullet might even have more recoil than a heavier bullet that’s moving slower. Or… the heavier bullet could have more recoil depending on the load.

...the handgun is a remote control drill, and it must be indexed with where we want the hole to appear, or the hole will appear in the wrong place. The sights, at least the front sight in close, will be the most reliable such index. ~Massad Ayoob
