Can you say recoil?

Normally I'd say "does a horse piss where it pleases".
However that initial $200 investment would quickly snowball out of control.

"Blizzard" out of control would be a better statement.

Well, you could always use it to make dies for an arbor press and save $300-600 for a set of dies.

In most double cartridges, the felt recoil is the same from .500 to 700 as the weight of the rifle increases. a 19lb .700 is similar to a 16lb .600, and a 13lb .577, or an 11lb .500. This assumes all is equal of stock size and shape, drop, pull, etc.
Folks that have shot my .600 are surprised how mild the recoil actually is compared to the BS stories they have read.
