This is the whomper that Wildcatter designed...hasn't been on the shelf for a couple years, at least. What took 'em so long?

He posted some pics of the event a few years ago here...it was with the rifle he has pictured as his avatar. I can't remember if he mentioned the load information...
Edit: Just found the post: viewtopic.php?f=13&t=1634&p=9966&hilit=barnes+buster+wildcatter#p9966
In another post he mentions that a "stock" 450b will not get to 2100fps before excessive pressure signs show up, along with timing problems (early extraction)... I think the powder used with this was 1680...
The various single-shot and bolt guns available these days should be able to sling these whompers at that speed or better, I would think. Muzzle brake recommended...

Question: Is "ninny pressure" a strictly technical term for reloading?
