I bet if a guy filled that 700 with red dot it would be a handful.

You are referencing destructive devices I assume. There are ways to gain exceptions.

Lots of the large bore rifles get a Destructive Device exemption from the BATFE because they are intended for sporting purposes. Think of all the over 50caliber British rifles you can get. Then consider some of the JDJ cartridges. I could have SSK build me a 700 JDJ rifle and all it takes is $$$$.

For the some of the bigger stuff like the 620 JDJ handgun, all that you need is the BATFE $200 federal tax stamp for a destructive device, similar to owning full auto weapons where it's legal.

This particular caliber seems very similar to the 12 ga FH which is just a brass cased 12ga used in rifled barrels and loaded as a rifle instead of a shotgun. The 12ga FH uses modified BMG brass as well.

I don't know what you have been smoking but you are so wrong it is comical! It is perfectly legal to own both unless your in the republic of California. Might want to check your facts before advertising your lack of facts/ knowledge on a open public forum.
