I reluctantly sold my 577 T-REX, so I bought an AHR 600 OVERKILL to take its place

[Northern Shooter]

270 ft-lbs of felt recoil....lol.

How are your retinas?

I am all of a sudden feeling very under-gunned with my 470.

Definitely overkill, no fast follow up shots tho
Ha Ha ha ha

No follow up shots at all. Might as well be a single shot.
The .700 RNE is a better concept as brass is readily available and more power!

Maybe NOT ...

Well, back from the range today ... I must admit this little red cannon is not as much fun to shoot as its AHR big brother. Since this one doesn't have a muzzle brake, and since its over a pound lighter, it really kicked the hell out of me. I am going to have to come up with a lighter FUN load.

Yeah looks like you could've stopped at three. That's a car crash in every trigger pull.

What a beautiful rifle! The next step is to replace the 600 OK with a 950 JDJ. Enjoy that beast, sir.

I bought an 8-bore double rifle .... that's .875 bullet dia ... and that's as big as I intend to go.

I BOUGHT AN 8 BORE DOUBLE RIFLE ONCE OWNED BY JACK LOTT

This is the Biggest cal double rifle I now own. And I love the Jack Lott history - as written and pictured in both the 1983 and 1995 editions of "Big Bore Rifles" by Jack Lott. I always wanted an 8-bore double rifle, and when this one came up for sale I unloaded a bunch of iron to buy it. All the specs are shown above the pictures. I am anxious to get to the range to test it, but need help with loading recommendations. Since it has steel barrels, I intend to load "nitro-for-black" cartridges. Again, your help would be...
