That thing is huge, Vikram! Are there any ballistics available for that cannon?

What is a " Nitro Express "?
I would rather hit my target gently than miss hard.

What Winnie said is correct.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nitro_Express
The Nitro Express (NE) series of cartridges are used in large-bore hunting rifles, also known as elephant guns or express rifles. They are named after the propellant they use, cordite, which is composed of nitrocellulose and nitroglycerine. Express from express train, due to the substantially higher velocities available with cordite compared to black powder loadings.

Awesome rifle, both the hunted and the hunter will feel it. The weight should offset some of the recoil.
Thanks for sharing Vikram.

Damn sure about the hunter but not so sure about the hunted end. This will probably instantly blow it to smithereens...
