That video is mislabeled and a copy.

The original is on youtube if you hunt around. The rifle is a .600 nitro express, one of the largest rounds ever made in a civilian weapon.

Bullet Weight: 900 grains (58.3 g)

At muzzle:
Velocity: 1,850 ft/s (560 m/s) or 1,950 ft/s (590 m/s)
Energy: 7591 ft·lbf (10.29 kJ)

At 50 yards (45 m):
Velocity: 1794 ft/s (547 m/s)
Energy: 6,427 ft (1,959 m)·lbf (8.713 kJ)
Time of Flight: 0.08 s

At 100 yards (90 m):
Velocity: 1646 ft/s (502 m/s)
Energy: 5,413 ft (1,650 m)·lbf (7.339 kJ)
Time of Flt; 0.17 s

While the .700 Nitro is of course larger, the .600 Nitro is the largest dangerous game caliber to have been used during the heyday of African ivory hunting. The .700 was a 1980s creation as a result of a well-to-do gentleman being denied a 600 NE calibered rifle from renowned maker Holland and Holland.

Though the .600 was larger than the .577, it was not nearly as popular among professional hunters of the day. In use, a professional hunter would carry this rifle only when expecting a charge, or when the hunter was in the "thick brush", with a gun-bearer carrying it at other times. The rifles chambered for these rounds were most often side-by-side double rifles with boxlock actions made by the Jeffery Company of England.

If I was at a computer and not on my phone I'd show you the video of a pistol in .600 nitro. It's soooooo funny.
