The .577 Tyrannosaur or .577 T-Rex (14.9×76mm) is a very large and powerful rifle cartridge developed by A-Square in 1993 on request for professional guides in Zimbabwe who escort clients hunting dangerous game. The cartridge is designed for use in "stopping rifles" intended to stop the charge of dangerous game.

577 is def impressive, but I remember there were 4 bore(2100gr) and 2 bore(3500gr) bullets and even some rifle prototypes(I think forgotten weapons had a video on 2bore). Obviously those were obsolete pretty much, but those were made for "stopping charging elephants" apparently :D
