And yes, just like the thread title states, Kevin starts off the interview with a story of a guy in Zimbabwe injuring tearing his rotator cuff and shattering the windshield of his Land Cruiser with a single shot from one of these rifle cartridges.
Cartridges Discussed:
500 BPE
500 Nitro Express
500 Jeffery
505 Gibbs
577 Snider
577 Nitro Express
577 T-rex
585 Nyati
600 Nitro Express
600 Overkill
700 Nitro Express
And more!

The 577 Snider is a mild cartridge it's an old British military round. It's big and slow 1300 FPS, I've shot it in a carbine about the same recoil as a 20ga.

You are correct. I've never shot the 577 Snider, but I've shot the 577/450 derived from it pretty extensively.
Those two cartridges are by far the least powerful out of all discussed in this episode though.
