Probably 510DTC.

Actually I think you can get a 14.5mm JDJ which is an upscaled round on the .50 BMG case. http://www.sskindustries.com/14_5.htm

I amgoing to go out on a limb and guess .22 CB.

How much money do you have?

In a bolt gun the 600 Overkill is available but it is a custom job that will cost you a few thousand.

Also:
577 trex
550 magnum
585 nyati
550 express
510 wells/500 a2/500 jeffe/505gibbs

Those all have letters from the BATF that they are "Sporting Cartridges" so you don't run into the "Destructive Devices" rule for cartridges over .50 caliber.

.22lr duH!

[CSACANNONEER]

If you ask like that, I'm not sure that you should have an airsoft.

[AJAX22]

12 gauge from hell...

You'll shoot yer eye out, kid!

That would be a good one.

In anticipation of the next question, elephants are in parts of Africa and Asia.

The one we can't have anymore. Surplus .50 BMG used to be reasonable, I don't about now.

In a readily available gun:

+1 for the .510 DTC

For value/a "reasonably priced caliber" big-bore:

In my opinion, your best bet would be a CZ Safari Magnum in .458 Winchester Mag.

You can get one with either a Bavarian-style hogsback stock or in a more conventional "American" configuration for under $1000. Four different-colored laminate patterns are also available for a little extra.

A box of 20 cartridges costs ~$100, far less than most of the other "big bore" rounds.

Do a Google search for the CZ 550 Magnum/BRNO 602, check out the ballistics on any of the major ammunition makers' web sites, and I think you'll be impressed.

Does this count? http://www.anzioironworks.com/MAG-FED-20MM-RIFLE.htm

Mag-Fed 20MM Rifle


Here is is next a wimpy .50 BMG


It's only 6' 8" long


However, this is a destructive device, so don't get your hopes up in CA.
