The 470 Capstick Pt.2

[CZDiesel]

My rifle shoots both the Barnes Banded Solid and the Barnes TSX 500gr bullets to the same point of aim at 50yrds with 72gr H4895.
This load gives 2260ftps with the TSX and 2290 with the Banded Solid…

My mind is still blown that it’s pushing a 500gr Barnes Banded solid over 120fps faster than the 458WinMags 500gr Hornady DGS and it seriously feels as if it has half the recoil! It was on par with the 450/400.

hi,

just curious. is the 458 win rifle lighter than the 470 capstick? it seems weird that it kicks much less than the 458 and getting an additional 100 fps out of a 500 gr bullet, both are in a straight case, powder charge can't be a lot different, so am curious about the substantial recoil difference. any ideas as to why?
