God i wish it worked that way! But sadly living to be 100 will not save you from regretting not doing something at 30. If anything it just gives you more time to discover stuff you should have done when you were younger.

I would have voted for three of them but it wouldnt let me. My vote goes to any dual core bonded bullets. Swift A-frame North Fork sp Federal TBBC I also like the Barnes TSX but in higher velocity cartridges. Some time back the guys at the Barnes booth told me they would not recommend an...

Not sure what you mean. I consider both the 600 and the 700 to be too heavy (if they are properly weighted). An 8-bore doesnt need to be as heavy, it doesnt have the same recoil. But in reality anything north of 12lb starts to get a little silly to carry... Doesnt matter the caliber. Recoil isnt...

This is why i dont have any real interest in the 600 and 700 NE cartridges. The guns need to be too heavy for my wimpy arms. My 8-bore is probably the heaviest rifle i can reliably shoot off-hand at around 16.5lb. Carrying it for long periods of time... I would likely hire a porter.

In my opinion, 16lb is much too light for a 600! The last 600 i shot was around 19lb and it would still loosen your teeth. 900gr at 2000fps is no joke and makes my 8-bore feel tame!

It has been a few years since i last shot a 577 NE 3" but if memory serves, the best examples I shot were original London guns that weighed around 14lb. The best shooting example was an Army Navy double a gentleman let me shoot in AK. The gun had the perfect amount of vertical and horizontal...

I almost have my dream collection of large bore rifles. What i have: - Winchester M70 in 416RM - W.J. Jeffery 8-bore 3.25" double rifle What i want: - a properly weighted and balanced double rifle in 577 NE 3"

Funny, you and i had a similar thought at the same time. :E Rofl:

During the winter 50-70 hours a week is devoted to work. After work i enjoy audio books or surfing the net. In the summer i work no more than 50 hours per week and spend my weekends riding motorcycles. I still like to get in some large bore rifle shooting from time to time, so i dont get too...

I require my PH to carry a larger caliber gun than me. ;)

If it is remotely edible, pigs will eat it!

Pigs eat meat though...

Could be a case of them slowly drying out and shrinking. Outside enamel will be harder and more brittle, thus cracking and popping off. But thats just an offhand guess. Hopefully someone with more knowledge will chime in.
