Re: ready for the first shots

I find it quite shootable without the brake with 160 gr of 7828 and a 900 gr FN bullet. With a brake I would equate it to a 30-06 in recoil. With out the brake it's close to a 375 H&H. Of course if you start to up the powder all bets are off. The recoil rises quickly from there.

That load is getting you about 1950-2000fps BTW. ANything up to 2250-2275 is very shootable but anything over that and the rifle wants to twist out of you hands. You better hold on tight. At 2400 it is absolutely brutal and I have no desire to ever shoot it at that level again.

With the 1040 cast bullets I was thinking about 1500fps. Give or take a bit. Thats what i think Dan was saying wouldnt require the brake. The full house 900gr will take every bit of help.

I might just do that ! When I get the bullet design right.
I use to live in Slate Hill Orange County near Middletown NY.
I would be a excuse to get together next time I go to visit. Then I could shoot the mighty .600 OK

I go back 1-2 times a year.

cal.62 bullet weight 1000 grn would be nice eah

I would need a case or two and the length of your magazine.

Cheers,

Thanks. I am lucky after I rough things out and am happy with the fit and ect I can give them to my son. He works in a real machine shop and is going to college for machinist. I will give him the pattern and he can mill out a nice part!

After I am happy with the bottom metal he is going to do it for me again. Only with no welding and mistakes.

without the brake... about how much could a guy take ? 900 @2150? Iv shot 460s, 500s and 577s but nothing that high.

I really like the Rigby style floorplate that you added. And 3 rounds of 600 OK down plus 1 in the chamber is enough to last a guy all day. With the 600 NE, my limit was 3 shots per day.

Here is a link to a web sight I have been putting togather on my build. Keep in mind she still is an unpollished diamond. You need to make some of those solids in 600 so I can test them.
