Hunting the Most Powerful Production Airgun? (Hatsan Piledriver .457)

I recently had a chance to hunt with one of the most powerful production air rifle in the world! In this video I take the soon to be released Hatsan Piledriver .457 with me on a hunt in Texas. This big bore rifle is generating over 700 fpe, and provides 5 usable shots per fill, propelling a 525 grain up to almost 780 fps. The .50 caliber version is putting out over 800 fpe.
I used this gun to take deer and javalina, and the terminal performance was very impressive. I only had the gun for a short while and can’t wait to get it back for another outing and a more rigorous test day on the range.
This rifle was ergonomic, fast and easy to cycle, offered a high shot count (in the context of uber powerful big bores). But power without accuracy is meaningless, and I can report that this gun is also very accurate. Give the video a look, and if you have any questions, I will do my best to answer them.
