Unfortunately, most sites that host those videos have either removed them due to bandwidth issues (apparently too many hits) or also host content that doesn't comply with our site posting rules.
Here's some information about the .577T-Rex I found from another gun related site.

"the "feature video" ... came from www.accuratereloading.com.
Basically the rifle is chambered for the .577 Tyrannosaurus Rex.
According to their reloading data, the 13.6 pound rifle normally fires a solid 750 grain bullet at a velocity approaching 2600 fps for a muzzle energy of over 11000 foot-pounds.
This energy is comparable to that of the US military's .50 BMG cartridge frequently used as a heavy machinegun and anti-material rifle.

Ed,
Remember when we could watch the shooting videos at Accurate without joining the site?
Do you think that shooting range is in the U.S? For some reason Saudi Arabia comes to mind.
I used to like the "Don't Poke the Cat" video they had.

.577 TYRANNOSAUR
The following data was developed in an A-SQUARE Hannibal model rifle.
The rifle weighed 13.6 pounds. No effort was made to shoot it for group accuracy, as the whole purpose of this rifle is as a last resort stopper for animals that are intent on changing the make up of your anatomy! Suffice to say that all groups with all powder charges, at various velocities, went into a group of approximately 8 inches, at 100 yards, with the majority of the higher velocity loads grouping in less than 3 inches! This is fantastic accuracy for a rifle of this power, with open sights.
Judging by the picture, if the bullet is approx 1/2" dia. the cartridge should be approx 4 " long.
And contains (depending on the powder used) somewhere between 180 and 200 grains of powder pushing a 600 to 900 grain bullet.
