That would be a 700 Nitro Express

Here is a shot of the case and bullet next to a .45ACP round.

Meant for hunting elephants, or Volvo's.

So an inert bullet goes for $65 plus $9 shipping... What does a real bullet go for?

wow...
The .700 Nitro Express develops an approximate average of 8,900 foot-pounds force (12,100 J) of muzzle energy with a 1,000 gr (65 g) bullet at 2,000 ft/s (610 m/s). However handloaders can push the cartridge to generate as much as 15,000 foot-pounds force (20,000 J) in a modern bolt action, by using a 1,000 gr (65 g) bullet fired at 2,600 ft/s (792 m/s).

Yup, rich boy's toy for sure.
Bet you never thought you would see a gun that was cheaper to shoot than a .50cal LOL
