Sanity check....firing the 577 TRex
Gentlemen,

For everyone that drops the rifle, at least ten fire it without any mishaps.

So it is not as vicious as we imagine, especially at factory level.

But, our loads are higher than the factory loads.

Saeed - what are the specs on the loads you have for your guests? Thanks - KMule

Me, too! Except that I've already had all of the kids I plan to have! I'm also interested, Saeed, to know the loads you so kindly allow your guests to touch off . . . Big Grin

750 grains at 2,400 fps? thumb

Also, while we're at it, how much does that beast weigh?

Exactly how do you hold a rifle that you're concerned firing it will prevent you from having kids Frowner

I believe Saeed's loads are 750 gr @ 2500 fps, and I think 160 grs of powder Big Grin

It ain't how you hold it.

It's how much you flinch and miss by when you ain't got no margin for error.

And then how long it takes you to pick up the rifle off the dry river bed, shake out the sand, cycle the bolt and shoot one more time for effect!
