Subject "Stopping rifle"..

[Pondoro]

I was a bit amazed after shooting a 13,2 lbs .600 double rifle. I found that rifle to be controllable with the .900 - 110 - 7600 load. The relatively low velocity (1950 fps) makes the recoil much more manageable than the 2150 fps lot it seems....more like a looong heavy push..

So why build them as heavy as 15 - 16 pounds..?

But alas, the .600 NE is not allowed in Bots. and I cant afford one....so it is all very academic..

Not having shot a 700 or a 600 yet but i have played with loads for my 470 from 1800fps to 2300fps with the peregrine points which produce the lower pressures.

I agree the recoil does become a long push at the 1950fps compared to the snap of the 2150fps.
