| Video 4 is the lite load with the 1040 grain bullet. This is the load that the range instructor had fly bck and nearly button hole his skull. Video #3 is shooting the heavy 900 grain load. The recoil on the heavy load is194 ft. lbs at 46 ft/sec., which is alot, seeing as how a 44 mag is in the range of 22 ft lbs. The 500 S & W mag has about 58 ft. lbs of recoil with the hot 440 grain Corbon loads. My thanks to Bulldog 563 for posting on this site. |

| The first two rifle shots are with my 600 overkill by AHR. These loads are 900 grain solids at 2250 ft/sec. Being fat does help soak up some of the recoil. A proper grip on the pistol, really really tight, keeps the gun from its normal flight pattern as seen in the range instructor's video. I liked the pistol so much, that I got Bob to trade it to me. |

| Jeffoso, Kamakazzii was asking me if I wanted to try the 900 grain bullet in the 600 nitro pistol. It is the hotter fullhouse load. The firt shot with the 600 nitro was loaded with the 1040 grain bullet, but it used only 118 grains of powder and developed about 3650 ft.lbs of energy. The 900 grain bullet is loaded with 158 grains and developed 5572 ft.lbs. The video that I have trouble closing the gun at the beginning is the full house load. The "mild" load kind of bit my fingers, so I used a little duct tape on both trigger fingers under the gloves. Those of us with fat fingers always get our fingers banged up with a heavy recoiling encore.There is just not enough room between the back of the trigger guard and the grip or between the trigger and the front of the trigger guard. Especially with a tight two handed grip. The gun with the scope weighed 5.78 lbs not 7 1/2 lbs. AS you can see it can be handled witha really tight grip, but recoil is quite brisk to say the least. |

| Yeah ROB, and we could load it to the 2400 ft/sec. Problem is I don't think you would have any hands left after shooting it!! |

| 366, I have met up with Safari kid down at his place in Georgia. He is the one that got me hooked on the Ken Owen 4 bore. Darn him! Mine should be ready by mid December. He and I both have a 700 AHR ordered from Ed Plummer at AHR. They are supposed to be ready by September. Safari Kid actually goes on alot of big hunts. He has taken quite a bit of game with hid 600 overkill and 4 bore. Me, I am still paying for the guns. Oh well, might as well owe on something you enjoy. |

| Safarikid is certifiable. He knows a mutual friend, and, he's ordered some whacky stuff. I'd love to have his 6 pound Lott, or 416 Rigby he's selling...

| GS, Tom is really into the lite and superlite bigbores. I tend to shoot a little hotter loads, but I prefer a heavier rifle. But Tom does ALOT more hunting than I do. He says that during the hunt, with the adrenaline going, the lite weight does not bother him at all. Most of his stuff is lite weight, except that 4 bore monster of his, at 25 1/2 lbs, it can't be considered a litewieght! |

| I see you are a LH shooter...are your rifles built on LH actions?

| My 700 nitro is left handed, and I have a 4 bore being made and it is going to be left handed. The 600 overkill has a right handed action. AHR is building a 700 AHR with a left handed action for me. I have learned over the years, to shoot right handed rifles, like most lefties. The only other left handed rifle I have is a 7mm remmington ultra mag. All my other rifles are right handed. |
