.600 Overkill

.600 Overkill

The .600 Overkill cartridge is a hunting cartridge designed to fit the CZ550 action, by American Hunting Rifles.

The .600 Overkill was designed by Robert Garnick of Las Vegas, Nevada. It was intended to be the largest bullet than was able to fit in the CZ550, and was designed specifically for the purpose of elephant hunting. The CZ550 is able to fit 2 cartridges, with slight alterations. With solid brass bullets, the .600 overkill is able to penetrate 6 feet into solid oak

The .600 Overkill has the ability to fire a 900 grain bullet at more than 2400 f.p.s., however the wielder must withstand extreme recoil from such a large bullet. At this level of power, as the bullet spins down the barrel, the rifle is torqued in the opposite direction, twisting the rifle out of the wielder's hand.
